    Hi Wim

    I will if I can find the time, but SOF is a community
    rather than a religious group, Sea of Faith refers to Arnold's poem
    Dover Beach. SOF however, I would say, takes an interest in the current
    practice
    of religion, its possible death, and criticizes literalist interpretations
    and
    neglect of the current state of scientific knowledge by faith communities.
    Its banner statement is that 'religion is a human creation'.

    regards
    David M
