  • The SoF movement started in 1984 as a response to theologian Don Cupitt's book and television series, both titled Sea of Faith. Cupitt is a philosopher, theologian, Anglican priest, and former Dean of Emmanuel College, Cambridge. In the book and series, he surveyed western thinking about religion and charted the transition from traditional realist religion to the 20th century view that religion is simply a human creation. The name Sea of Faith is taken from Matthew Arnold's nostalgic 19th century poem Dover Beach, in which the poet expresses regret that belief in a supernatural world is slowly slipping away; the sea of faith is withdrawing like the ebbing tide. Following the television series, a small group of radical Christian clergy and laity began meeting to explore how they might promote this new understanding of religious faith. Starting with a mailing list of 143 sympathisers, they organised the first UK conference in 1988. A second conference was held in the following year shortly after which the SoF Network was officially launched. Annual national conferences have been a key event of the network ever since.
