A Forum for the Study of Religion
‘The great traditions may be, in one sense, in decline; but in another they remain available to us, if we learn to make our own the wisdom contained in their scriptures and the writings of their saints.’ - Lois Lang-Sims
One of the most important ways in which we can expand our understanding of the world is via a study of its great religious traditions. Each of these traditions has a storyline and these stories can, in many ways, not only throw light on one another but on our humanity at large. Furthermore, as Max Müller, the 'father of comparative religion' insisted, 'He, who knows one religion, knows none'. In other words, if we are to begin to understand our own tradition in any significant way today, we must see it within a much larger context than is generally afforded by mainstream churches.
Why A Sacramental Community?

Religion, though far from perfect, has throughout history been a key factor in man’s survival and development. It has taught, inspired, supported and, most important of all, kept him in touch with those deep, hidden roots without which we cannot live.
