Fellowship of Non-Subscribing Christians

The Fellowship of Non-Subscribing Christians (FNSC) is an independent religious community and a missionary and publication society which aims to serve the needs of self-declared liberal or non-dogmatic Christians.
It was founded in 2013 by a group of Free Christians, Unitarians and Non-Subscribing Presbyterians from Britain and Ireland with a view to promoting liberal Christianity that is inclusive of Trinitarian and Unitarian positions. The group also promote the social gospel, the right to religious freedom and the need for ecumenicism as key issues.
Liberal Christianity as promoted by the FNSC is defined by the following principles:
# that Jesus Christ is the sole Head of the One Church to which all Christians are called;
# that Christians are united, not by creed, but by a common standard of behaviour after the example of Christ;
# that the authority of conscience in matters of faith, and in the understanding the Bible, is our sacred right;
# that all Christians, of whatever tradition, and sharing a common baptism, can and should unite on this basis.
The FNSC publishes a magazine known as 'The Fellowship' and holds gatherings in both Ireland and Britain. It is supported by Moneyreagh Non-Subscribing Presbyterian Church and Stalybridge Unitarian Church. The FNSC is run by volunteers, containing a mix of ministers and lay people.
The group also seek to provide a network for Non-Subscribing Presbyterians who have left Ireland to work in Britain with a means of continuing connection with the Non-subscribing Presbyterian Church of Ireland, though it is not formally affiliated to the NSPCI.
