Considering the Future of Religion in Britain

What is the future of religion in Britain?

The 2021 census results will be publish later this year, and experts fully predict a continuing trend in a decline in official religious affiliation, and a rise in those declaring they have no religion. There are those looking forward to this future, and others heralding the end of a golden age of faith & belief.

Professor Linda Woodhead gives her own personal reflection on how she sees this future unfolding -“part prediction, part hope” - at the Religion Media Centre's 2022 lecture.

Join us at St Bride's Church on Fleet Street, London for key insights from Professor Woodhead, opportunity for Q&A and afterwards to network and chat over drinks.

Date: 21st September 2022

Time: 6:45pm - 8:30pm

Venue: St Brides Church, Fleet Street, London EC4Y 8AU
