In this session, we look together at our fears, what divides us, and how we can take steps towards a more just world.
On this page you will find everything you need for the second session of our Act on Poverty course.
Our course pack includes:
Hear disability activist Stef Benstead give a powerful personal account of the judgement that can come with experiencing poverty and claiming benefits. Stef discusses the daily struggles people with disabilities face as they navigate broken systems.
Hear Father Osvaldo Concepción Marte, SJ, talk about the work of Centro Montalvo, the social action organisation for the Society of Jesus in the Dominican Republic. Father Osvaldo says that work for social justice is an ‘imperative of the faith’. In knowing Jesus, we know we need to act to help others.
Meet Revd. Chris Minchin, Deacon Janet Jenkins and Deacon Tim Coleman, from three churches across the UK who are – in their own ways – creating places of welcome for those who have experienced exclusion.
