Sea of Faith
The Sea of Faith Network (SoF) is an organization with the stated aim to explore and promote religious faith as a human creation.
==History==
The SoF movement started in 1984 as a response to Don Cupitt's book and television series, both titled ''Sea of Faith''. Cupitt was educated in both science and theology at the University of Cambridge in the 1950s, and is a philosopher, theologian, Anglican priest, and former Dean of Emmanuel College, Cambridge.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.westarinstitute.org/Fellows/cupitt.html )〕 In the book and TV series, he surveyed western thinking about religion and charted a transition from traditional realist religion to the view that religion is simply a human creation.
The name Sea of Faith is taken from Matthew Arnold's nostalgic mid 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.
