THE OPEN THEOLOGY TRUST 

We aim to promote enterprises which engage religious ideas, values and actions with a wider cultural and political context. We support networks and activities in non-traditional forums of theological exploration and sponsor conferences, events, publishing and media enterprises.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly female
  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
