On Wednesday 10 April representatives of various organisations met in Birmingham for a further conversation about their participation in the Anabaptist network of organisations.

Hosted by Noel Moules, this was the third such event and drew together organisations with explicit Anabaptist values and others with similar values and perspectives. The conversation explored ways of partnering together.

A new initiative at Bloomsbury Baptist Church in Central London was launched on Sunday 7 October - Informal Church - regular evening events based on the Anabaptist Network's core convictions.
