What next for the Church in an era of climate change, pollution and habitat destruction? Sessions are either hybrid or fully online and take place over five evenings spread through the 2024-25 academic year. This course will cover the latest theological perspectives, practical responses and resources available to us. Each session will have a small amount of material provided in advance to read, watch or listen to, so the meetings themselves can rapidly get to discussing key issues of interest to participants.

Report
By Dr Hannah Waite | Published by Theos on 24/11/2022
Around half of Britons now categorise themselves as having “No Religion”; these are colloquially known as ‘Nones’. But having no religion does not mean having no beliefs. It doesn’t even mean having no religious beliefs.
This report explores the demography, beliefs and practices of Nones and then presents a cluster analysis of this group. It shows that Nones comprise a complex and sometimes counter– intuitive group with, for example, only 51% of them stating they “don’t believe in God,” and 42% believing in some form of the supernatural.
