This calendar lists events by SoF or other organisations where the focus is on exploring progressive or non-traditional approaches to religion and interfaith dialogue. Please email the webmaster if you would like to suggest other events that should be listed here.
Covid lockdown led to the widespread use of computer meeting software applications which had been developed for corporate virtual meetings.
The Sea of Faith Network adapted to virtual local, national and international virtual meetings using Zoom software.
Regular Zoom meetings that members and non-members can attend from home, have now become a regular feature of our programme of SOF meetings.
Here in the UK, a regular virtual Zoom meeting,'SOF In Conversation', has now become a regular feature in our meetings programme.
Wherever you are in the world (member or non-member) feel free to attend!
