An informal network of liberally minded Christians striving
for an open, inclusive and thinking church.

FTB began informally within the United Reformed Church but now includes many with similar aims from other denominations.  There is no membership, simply a mailing list and the opportunity to support running costs through occasional donations.  FTB organises national conferences and reading parties intended to encourage a liberal agenda within the Church and mails out an occasional free 'Briefing' newsletter booklet.
