Finding Radical Hope in a Year of Election? With the Bishop of Newcastle.
18 March @ 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm
No Time To Wait was published last week by North East Child Poverty Commission, and as the title suggests, there is no time to wait. Over one third of babies, children and young people in the region are growing up in poverty and one tenth are living below the deep poverty line.
How can our churches act beyond responding to the symptoms? We need to discover radical hope in this year of both Mayoral and General Election.
For Chris Baker from the William Temple Foundation radical hope is the ‘forward-facing political and policy agenda that reaches out across difference and generates a sense of joyful expectation that things can and will be different’.
Please join us to explore why ‘challenging unjust systems’ is so important to our ministry here in the North East and to suggest practical ways we can do this together in this year of elections.
According to St Augustine of Hippo: “Hope has two beautiful daughters; their names are Anger and Courage. Anger at the way things are, and Courage to see that they do not remain as they are.”
Things cannot remain as they are. These events will provide the courage to act.
Monday 18 March 2pm – 3.30pm Newcastle Cathedral (St Nicholas Square, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE1 1PF) with Rt Revd Dr Helen-Ann Hartley, Bishop of Newcastle and Dean of Newcastle.
