As well as our lecture series we continue to run a discussion group and more recently a small group has been set up to support and encourage Christians who are actively engaged in the scientific workplace, and especially those at the start of their scientific career.

Brinklings

Brinklings is a small, support group of Christian writers based near Bristol.  We have tended to meet in person from time to time for fellowship and discussions. Of course, face-to-face meetings have not been possible during the pandemic, but we do hope to meet again once restrictions have been lifted.   To get in contact, please email brinklings (at) outlook.com.   Please note that we do not publish material ourselves directly and cannot respond to unsolicited manuscripts.
