Anabaptist
Network
Anabaptism is not just a historical tradition but a source of inspiration for
many Christians today. Available free on this website are segments from
the video ‘Rediscovering Anabaptism’, in which British Christians reflect on
the relevance of Anabaptist perspectives for Christian discipleship today.
Christian
Peacemaker
Teams UK
CPT's work is focused on three main areas:
- Trained, skilled teams from “the outside” that work effectively to spur
and support local efforts toward non-violent peacemaking;
- "Getting in the way" of injustice through direct non-violent intervention,
public witness and reporting to the larger world community to make a
difference;
- Peace team work that engages congregations, meetings and support
groups at home to play a key advocacy role with policy makers
Church on the
Corner
Church on the Corner is a church for people who maybe wouldn’t usually
do church, existing because faith is has a place even in fast moving
culture of Islington and central London. With an emphasis on biblical
christianity, on culture, on social justice and on creativity & the arts there
is something different about COTC. It was founded in 1994, using a
converted derelict pub.
Ekklesia Ekklesia is an independent, not-for-profit think-tank which examines the
role of religion in public life and advocates transformative theological ideas
and solutions.
London Mennonite
Centre
Mennonites derive from a part of the Reformation known as Anabaptists or
'the radical reformation'. Discipleship, mutual support, following Jesus' hard
teaching on loving enemies and concern for justice and right living have
been particularly important for Mennonites. Despite its name, the site is of
much more then local interest
Messy Church Messy Church is one church's attempt to be church for families who might
want to meet Jesus, belong to their local church and bring up their children
as Christians but can't cope with traditional Sunday morning church
services.

It's a once-a-month time of creativity, worship and eating together.
PeaceChurch Peace church is a way of thinking: discovering authentic church to be
rooted in the centrality of Jesus, within the vision of shalom, and
experimenting with the values that flow from this source. Local
communities in Bristol, Chepstow, Birmingham & Plymouth
Progressive
Christianity
Network
The Progressive Christianity Network Britain works to promote and support
open and contemporary Christian understanding. We provide a network of
local groups across the country, publish a radical quarterly newsletter, and
organise regular conferences and events.
Sanctus 1 Sanctus1 is a community of people who gather together to discover more
about Christ, culture and community. Sanctus1 seeks to push at the
boundaries; exploring God and spirituality within the city, in contemporary
film and art, and within each other.

Sanctus1 is supported by the Anglican and Methodist Churches
Scum of the Earth A Church in Denver, USA, who say of themselve ...

'It doesn't sound like a church name ... on purpose. We really want to
connect with people who have no interest in "church" by society's
definition ... we think we have a unique calling to reach out to our
otherwise unreached friends. Our name is integral to that process.
Whether outcast by society (e.g., punks, skaters, ravers, homeless
people...) or by the church itself, many who come can identify with the
name "Scum of the Earth" since they have been previously treated as
such.
More important to us, however, the name implies that being people of faith
does not mean we are better than anyone else.'
