Add to BasketWe are a group of inclusive Christians who seek to create a safe, sacred space for anyone exploring Christian spirituality or wishing to deepen an already existing Christian faith. We are part of the national Student Christian Movement, an organisation that provides support to students looking for an inclusive, compassionate Christian spirituality. We run weekly sessions where we invite structured discussion around a topic relating to Christian faith, or arts, culture and politics as understood through a progressive Christian lens. We will also have games, activities and pizza!
Our aims are:
Aim 1: To provide an inclusive, safe space to explore a progressive Christian faith.
Aim 2: To offer support and friendship to students marginalised and excluded by other Christian spaces in Exeter (particularly over issues of diversity and inclusion).
Aim 3: To promote and discuss issues of spirituality and social justice.
As far as we’re aware, we are the only Christian society that is openly affirming of LGBTQ+ students and holds a progressive view of faith that calls to solidarity with the marginalised. We are non-denominational, meaning we welcome all expressions of worship (e.g. Roman Catholic, Anglican, Baptist, and so on), but find a common ground in our support of social justice, inclusion, and equality. We believe that discussion between different faith backgrounds, and dialogue with other faiths and traditions, is the basis of a healthy community and a healthy spirituality.
