See you at the Keswick Convention 2025

The Keswick Convention 2025

SASRA will be representing their work amongst the Army and the RAF at the Keswick Convention 2025. During 12–26 July, we will have Scripture Readers and others presenting the work of the Soldiers’ and Aviators’ Scripture Readers Association in the mission tent within the Pencil Factory.

Working alongside the Chaplaincy, our Scripture Readers, all believing Christians and ex-Forces, work to introduce soldiers and air force personnel to a practical experience of the Christian faith by living alongside and working alongside them ‘behind the wire’.
