Sharing a significant event or experience on our journey

Monday 24 February 2014

We start with our usual cup of tea or coffee, and then provide opportunity for those who wish to share a particular 'happening' or experience on their journey of faith up to this point in time. These informal and in-house sessions have, in the past, been some of the most memorable for the group. In listening to the experiences of one another, we begin to understand better, to empathise more easily, and to realise our interdependence as group members.

Poverty and Inequality in Britain Today - Conference in York

“Truth, Lies and the Spirit Level” is a conference which aims to look at some of the facts about poverty and the people who are affected; the myths propagated about benefit claimants; and how societies work better when inequality is minimised. We will also examine York’s recent resolve to become a poverty-free city and the steps being taken to implement it. We aim to join the dots between poverty, inequality, quality of life, perception and
reality.

Location:

Speaker:
Paul Morrison, Professor Kate Pickett, Professor Jonathan Bradshaw, Dr Paul Edmondson-Jones. The Very Reverend Vivienne Faull

Brueggemann is an Old Testament scholar and retired professor of Columbia Theological Seminary. He has written more than 50 books, including The Prophetic Imagination, the Bible Makes Sense, and Truth Speaks to Power.... After the DVD, we intend to spend the rest of the time in discussion.
