For: Scotland & Shetland Learning Network region

Over the following ten months we are holding an introduction to Church at the Margins in each learning network region. Open to all.

Poverty across the UK is rising with a devastating impact on the lives of individuals and communities. How should we respond? What is God’s invitation to us? This webinar offers an  introduction to the vision and values of Church at the economic margins with stories from local practitioners in urban and rural contexts.

Hosted: by Eunice Attwood, Church at the Margins Officer and Sarah Hulme, Rural Officer.
