Beloved Community: A Place at the Table for Everyone
- Sat October 5 @ 09:00 - 17:00
- Bristol Cathedral - College Green, Bristol
Join us for a one day conference, dedicated to making church inclusive for everyone.
Following the success of a debut conference in March 2023, we are thrilled to announce an exciting line up of new speakers, bold topics, and workshops to Bristol Cathedral. This year’s event will be centred around racial inclusion, while also continuing to look at other groups who often face barriers between themselves and church. The day will be filled with a variety of engaging keynotes, panel discussions and workshops, as well as an opportunity to celebrate the Eucharist together and share experiences with fellow attendees.
Speakers and sessions will be announced soon!
The ticket price includes a delicious lunch cooked by the Square Food Foundation, a charity that works to reduce hunger, improve health, and bring people together through food and cooking.

Values:
We believe that we are all God’s children, his beloved in Christ, and we seek to show that in our treatment of one another. For those reasons we will…
LISTEN
Listen with respect to the lived experience of others and be mindful of our own conscious and unconscious bias.
LEARN
Make space for difference and recognise that we will not always agree with one another and be careful with the language we use.
LOVE
Be courageous in advocating for one another and give space for the needs of each person to enable them to participate fully.
