About this Event
Join us for our annual conference filled with inspiring talks, interactive workshops, and a chance to reconnect with USPG and friends, new and old. This in-person event will be held at the beautiful High Leigh Conference Centre.
We will be joined by:
The Very Revd Professor Kelly Brown Douglas - Dean, Episcopal Divinity School at Union Theological Seminary and Canon Theologian, Washington National Cathedral Theologian in Residence, Trinity Church Wall Street.
Bradon Muilenburg - Anglican Refugee Support Lead in Northern Calais.
Leading the Bible studies: The Very Revd Dr Dalcy Badeli Dlamini - Bishop of Eswatini, part of the “Africa Six”.
We live in a world where in many ways, it can feel as if walls are going up and borders are closing. And so, this year, we’re exploring what it looks like to be ‘United Beyond Borders’.
- In an increasingly volatile and bordered world how can we as members of the one global Church embody Christ’s love and build bridges across the borders that divide us?
- Are we, as the Church, brave enough to welcome the stranger and challenge prejudices against displaced people (or) people on the move?
- How does a mission agency, and the Church, confront its past of benefitting from colonisation?
The 3-day residential conference will feature a host of guest speakers from across the Anglican Communion (more below), Bible studies and participatory workshops. Plus plenty of opportunity for discussion with fellow delegates and time for fellowship and worship together. There is also the option to attend for the day on Wednesday 10 July.

<h4>Testimonials from our 2023 Conference:</h4>
"USPG seeks to bring different people from all walks of life to share different kinds of ideas and perspectives, so that we don’t box ourselves into small thinking and limit ourselves from seeing a wider picture of this beautiful world we live in.”
"I've been reminded that God desires that we come together to do His work in all the world."
"To get that wider global context on issues that I care about is really important but also really refreshing. It enables me to think about these things in a whole new way."
