Journey Group

Wesley Chapel hosts a discussion group which meets on the first Thursday of every month at 2.30pm or 2.15pm if you want coffee! It is attended by 10 to 15 members of several denominations - Methodist, Anglican, URC, and Baptist. Two active and two retired ministers are included. Sadly our one Quaker member changed her work schedule and could no longer join us.

The group exists to provide a forum for open discussion on religious, spiritual and theological topics. It attracts those who wish to continue to be active members of their church and its community, but who have grown to attach less importance to its doctrine, dogma, and what they see as its outdated traditional theology, but seeing importance in the life and teachings of Jesus as a man of his time. Our discussions tend therefore to be liberal and often radical in nature, full more of questions than answers, directed to understanding love and hope, but seeking few certainties.

The group has affiliated itself to Progressive Christianity Network Britain (PCN B) whose flyer front page states “PCN B .....where contemporary thought and understanding matter as much as scripture and tradition”. A second Harrogate PCN B group meeting monthly on a Sunday evening has recently started.

If you are interested in the sound of our group, you would be most welcome to join us.
