PAGAN FUTURES CONFERENCE - LONDON


Pagans represent a small but growing force within the diverse religious groups of the UK and Europe at large. Despite this, the philosophical and political foundations of British, and Western leaders in general, presume common values predicated on thought systems which exclude pagans. How can the integrity of our tradition be upheld going forward?
