Abstract

ABSTRACT This article reconsiders existing narratives surrounding Christianity, sexual modernity, and gender relations in twentieth-century Britain by examining the efforts of the 1924 Conference on Christian Politics, Economics and Citizenship (C.O.P.E.C.) to rethink pressing issues of gender and sexuality from an interdenominational perspective. It explores C.O.P.E.C.’s influence as an optimistic ecumenical assembly and widely publicised forum in which interwar commentators defined a particular version of Christian feminism, interrogated and reshaped ideas about sex and sexuality, and stimulated wider public discussion of these issues.
