Society of Free Christians

A small group of liberal Christians founded by the Revd G S Callander and others in 1999 very broadly in the spirit of the earlier Society of Free Catholics to promote liturgical 'catholic' worship within liberal Christian, non-credal, non-judgemental theology. The Society believe the uniting influence of liturgical language and worship drawing members 'God-wards' to be of more importance than the divisive influence of rigid dogmas or theological constraint.

The Society actively encourages freedom of religious thought and practical expression

The Society's worship is firmly entrenched in the 'Prayer Book' tradition and uses as its main liturgical resource the 'Free Church Book of Common Prayer' of 1919, edited by the Revd. Joseph Morgan Lloyd Thomas, founder of the Society of Free Catholics.

The SFC is wholly inclusive and supports the full and equal ministry of men and women.

The SFC is also connected with the English Liberal Free Church
