Leadership in the Liminal*
*Liminality (from the Latin word līmen, meaning “a threshold”) is the quality of ambiguity or disorientation in the space occupied between one thing and another. 
In a rapidly changing world, and in a church trying desperately to discover what the ‘new normal’ might be, the liminal experience is very real. Do our inherited models of leadership work in such a context? Is a new approach required?
fx is pleased to be hosting a hybrid gathering of congregation leaders, church planters and pioneers from across the missional landscape, and we’re delighted to be welcoming four high-quality contributors to guide us in our conversations.

A one-day conference focusing on growing healthy churches, for anyone in Christian leadership in the UK.
‘Gathered’ provides an opportunity for Christian leaders from diverse evangelical churchmanship to grow in friendship and unity. Through sharing the gifts God has given across his church we hope to help and strengthen one another, for the advancement of the gospel. 
Across the event we will be looking at healthy leadership and healthy churches. There’ll also be plenty of time to meet new people and pray together that God might be at work amongst us, in our churches and in our nation. Gathered is for anyone in Christian leadership, male and female, from any church background, from anywhere in the UK.

The Courage Sisterhood includes women from every nation, tribe and tongue. We meet throughout the year at various events including breakfasts, as well as having an annual conference in London each summer.
Our conference is a celebration of life, of purpose, of possibilities in God, and of hope. Our heart’s desire is to see every girl and woman blossom into the beautiful, magnificent, and fulfilled person God created them to be.
It is a time to be totally immersed in an atmosphere of worship, joy, hope, and faith. We come together with one heart, one voice, one purpose, and one vision –that is, to have, “all of God in all of life”.
