Nothing in life stays the same – a familiar reality that may create both excitement and anxiety. But now, changes in the world are accelerating, posing huge challenges to the nature and practice of faith, and notions of God. This retreat will explore what a progressive faith may look like and how it can also remain true to its originating sources. Dave Tomlinson is an Anglican priest and writer whose books include The Post-Evangelical, and How to Be a Bad Christian. He regularly speaks on Radio 2’s ‘Pause for Thought’ and has a podcast called ‘The Holy Shed’. Dave is chaplain to St Ethelburga’s Centre for Reconciliation & Peace, married to Pat - and a passionate Liverpool FC fan.. He is also a Greenbelt trustee.
