Thanks, Kevin and Nersen. Yes, we are very conscious of the difficulties of geography and travel. We had a Fulcrum Conference in the North in June last year in Bradford and we would be open to suggestions for this year. The local organiser is a key post and the timing and theme are important considerations. 

People are free to contact the leadership team through the web site with offers or suggestions.

Given the conference is focussing on UNITY, it would be a shame if the North and South of England were divided.... perhaps there could be a webcast so those who could not get a train or coach down to London can join in this important conference?   

(perhaps a more central location in London would also help people to get to it more easily?)

any further plans for a Fulcrum North Conference for those of us who are geographically challenged... and are 6 hours away from the Capital.

sometimes it really does seem that for some evangelicalism exists not outside of the South and South East

We have just published details of 'Fulcrum Conference London: Spirituality of Unity', which will be held on Saturday 16 May 2009, 10.00-4.00pm, at Christ Church, New Malden.

For a map, click here. To book, click here. It greatly helps us if you book via the web. Cost £15 (theological students £8).

Our three speakers in the morning, 'Spirituality of Unity: Three Perspectives', are:

Hugh Palmer, Rector of All Souls' Langham Place, London

Jane Morris, Vicar of St Gabriel's, Cricklewood, London

Adrian Chatfield, Director of the Simeon Centre for Spirituality, Ridley Hall, Cambridge

Our afternoon session, 'Spirituality of Unity in Practice', will be in groups facilitated by Phil Stone, Vicar of St Mark's Kensal Rise, London, followed by a Bible Study by Ian Paul, Dean of Studies, St John's College, Nottingham, editor of Grove Books and on the Fulcrum leadership team.

Given the strains and stresses among Evangelical Anglicans, the conference will provide an important opportunity to explore the spirituality that undergirds our unity together and ways to handle difference on the basis of that unity. Speakers are drawn from the different streams of Evangelical Anglicanism.

Looking forward to seeing many people there.
