Description
A conversation for justice seekers hosted by Sheffield Methodist District
14.4 million people in the UK are currently experiencing poverty, and 3.8 million people are now living in destitution, without the basics to keep warm, dry, clean and fed. Despite many committed thoughtful people having devoted their lives to tackling poverty and economic marginalisation in one of the world’s most prosperous countries.
Is there actually another way, or must we learn to live with Jesus warning that “the poor will always be with you”
