Sea of Faith Network

Exploring and promoting religion and worldviews as valuable human creations

Book now for our conference

‘Education for this life’

Thursday 24 and Friday 25 July in London

A special conference examining the potential threats and opportunities of Artificial Intelligence for education and building on the Sea of Faith’s work to develop ‘Solarity’, ‘Big Ideas’, and children’s education in Religion and Worldviews.

 Who we are and what we do

We are a network of groups and individuals who share the understanding that religion and worldviews are creations of the human imagination. We explore together the implications of such an understanding for our moral, spiritual, and social values.

The Network has no creed. It welcomes people from all religious and humanist traditions. At the heart of the Sea of Faith network is an open, uninhibited conversation. It’s how it all began.

We have regular in-person and online events, both in local groups and nationally, and we publish a regular high-quality magazine. All our events are open to anyone and most are free to attend. Our magazine archive is available freely on this website.

    Library & Resources

    The Network has produced hundreds of articles, as well as videos, podcasts and recordings. These are increasingly being added to our website in a searchable library.

    You can browse the library by content type, contributing authors or speakers and the topics the content relates to.

      Education

      The Network has no creed, but it does have an educational purpose. One of our charitable objects is to ‘advance the education of the public in religious studies with particular reference to religious faiht seen as a human creation.’

      The Network puts this into action through its publications, events and two main arms of educational outreach.

      • Solarity is the network’s offer of educational resources and materials for out-of-school hours religion and philosophy clubs.
      • The network’s partnership with Big Ideas for RE supports the development of the RE curriculum.

      “What must you believe in order to join the Sea of Faith?”

      The Network has no creed. It welcomes people from all religious and humanist traditions.

      Perhaps the only answer to this ‘Frequently Asked Question’ is that you would probably believe that fundamentalist, literalist religion is dangerous.
