"The future of Christianity in a plural world involves living out a fresh, hopeful way for humanity, rooted in critical faith and action for justice and peace," says Ekklesia co-director Simon Barrow. "It is not about clinging to privilege, preaching at people from on high and becoming caught up with inward-looking arguments."

Greenbelt 2010, backed by global development agency Christian Aid and a range of other organisations, is expected to attract some 21,000 people from 27-30 August at Cheltenham Racecourse.
The Line-up for Greenbelt 2010 is bold, innovative, daring and exciting. Talks features new faces to Greenbelt alongside established favourites; the Literature programme encompasses poetry, journalism, printed word and new media; Visual Arts work includes installation, participation and craft; and Comedy features puns, wit, satire and whimsy.

With plenty still to be announced across the wider programme (including - of course - a strong programme of Music, from Mainstage headliners to Performance Cafe troubadours), there's something for all ages, all backgrounds; those who want to be challenged and those who just want to be entertained; those with a faith and those with none. It's Greenbelt 2010: The Art of Looking Sideways, and it's going to be brilliant.
