About us
During the late 1990's and into the present decade, St. Mark's Church, Broomhill, Sheffield hosted a series of autumn conferences whose speakers have been leading thinkers in the field of biblical studies and theology. We have welcomed, for example, Professors John Rogerson, Marcus Borg and Dominic Crossan, the former Bishop of Newark, New Jersey, Jack Spong and the former Primus of Scotland, Richard Holloway.
These conferences have attracted large numbers of people from all over the UK, thirsting for a radical re-expression of Christianity. Such a strong interest in promoting an open and inclusive Church, unafraid to ask the big questions, led to the launch, at the October conference in 2003, of a Centre for Radical Christianity, based at St. Mark's. The Centre promotes conferences and other meetings, using the excellent facilities at St. Mark's. Furthermore there is a resource library for members, links with other such groups are fostered, and we are playing a part in a network of liberal minded Christians working together for a new vision of the church of the 21st century.
Today St Marks CRC is one of a growing number of organisations and networks working for a new vision of the Christian church in the 21st century. On our links page you will find listed some of these organisations.
