A participatory workshop challenging and reflecting on the Church’s aim to transform unjust structures of society in austerity Britain
What are the different forms of poverty in the UK and how do they relate to each other? How can the Church be an effective agent for change in an age of austerity? How can the Bible and Christian tradition enable us to challenge structural injustice?
