She is the author of Notes on Love: being single and dating in a marriage-obsessed church and the upcoming Notes on Feminism: Being a woman in a male-led church.

Justin Brierley and Belle Tindall engage faith and spirituality with leading figures in science, history, politics, art and education. Can our culture be re-enchanted by the vision of Christianity?
