Men In Fellowship

The Fellowship came into being in 2019 when a number of men decided that the Ladies weren’t the only ones who could meet up to socialise, network, discuss issues of the moment frivolous or serious, and to think through the problems of society from the standpoint of Christians today.

Since then, we have blended the serious and the light hearted into our programmes in a contrasting series of events.  We have a threefold programme which involves:

• Occasional breakfast meetings addressed by interesting speakers on their faith (not necessarily Christian), their careers or their life experiences.
• Walks in the Surrey countryside with time for reflection and a pub lunch.
• Visits to places of interest which may be a Cathedral or a brewery or whatever.

2023 has been very active; we have held several Breakfasts with speakers talking on subjects such as Judaism, Humanism and the World Scout Jamboree.

Vists have included The Clink, Southwark Catherdral, Brookwood Cemetery and the Hogs Back Brewery.

Our activities attract numbers varying from a dozen to 30 or so. It is very democratic in considering new ideas and autocratic when it comes to the detail. The basis of our being is Christian, but we welcome anyone of any or no faith. You just have to be polite in debate, open in argument and prepared to help with the washing up.
