An Experiment in UnityThe community at S Giles comes from just about every corner of the globe, and every strand of the Christian tradition. We are a living experiment in the Unity Christ promised to his Church.

Faithful teachingWe believe in the Christian faith as it has been handed down to us in all of its fullness: the revelation of God in Jesus Christ. We strive to be faithful to Christ in our worship & our lives.

Serving the poorWhether its sheltering the homeless in winters, or feeding the hungry all year round, we continue to struggle with what it means to reach out to those in need with the practical love of Christ.

THE OLD WINE PHILOSOPHICAL DINNER CLUB
Under 30 and want to explore the faith? This group is for you! These are the three simple ideas that are the foundation of the Old Wine Philosophical Dinner Club.
Dinner: Whatever happened to educated 20-somethings sitting around a table with good food and fine old wine discussing (and arguing!) about the big questions of life? We are also committed to reviving the classic "candle-lit dinner party" in western society.
Wine: What else needs to be said? The ancient Jewish prayer went like this: "Bless you, O Lord our God, for giving old wine to men to ease their hearts!" Amen. (There will also be soft drink available for the scrupulous)

- Why does anything exist?
- Why does everything seem so right, but so wrong?
- Prophets, Priests, Poets and Christ?
- "There are only four ways of loving God" -- Simone Weil
- Marxism, Capitalism and the Dustbins of History.
- The Hippies were right about one thing: Never trust anyone over 40.
