Church leaders call on UK government to reconsider Cumbrian coal mine
Over 450 Church leaders and Christian environmental campaigners have signed an open letter calling for a rethink on the approval of a new coal mine in Cumbria.

HIGHLIGHTS – RESOURCES

REMINDER – Week of Prayer for Christian Unity (WPCU) 2023
For this WPCU we are guided by the churches of Minneapolis as we seek to explore how the work of Christian unity can contribute to the promotion of racial justice across all levels of society.
Materials are available as downloads and printed versions. Formats are available in English, Welsh/English, Irish and Scots Gaelic.

NEW! Racial Justice Sunday 2023 – Stephen Lawrence
22 April 2023 marks the 30th anniversary of the racist killing of Black teenager, Stephen Lawrence, in Eltham, southeast London. In many respects, Racial Justice Sunday is one of the many legacies of Stephen Lawrence’s life. As such, in marking RJS, churches are remembering a young man who in life aspired to be an architect, but whose legacy has seen him become an architect for justice, equality, dignity and unity.

NEW! Holocaust Memorial Day – 27 Jan 2023
The theme for Holocaust Memorial Day 2023 is ‘ordinary people’. Through this theme, we are invited to think about all the millions of ordinary victims of Nazi persecution and subsequent genocides.

NEW! The Way, the Truth and the Life: Jesus, Faith, Salvation and Inter Faith Dialogue
Some Ecumenical Reflections on an important text. This is the first in a series of papers, articles and reflections on John 14.5-7, NRSV, written from different perspectives which will be published over the coming months exploring how Christians live out their faith in the world.

NEW! The Bulletin
