Public Issues Calendar
2008
The
Baptist Union of Great Britain, the Methodist Church and the United
Reformed Church have traditionally published details of dates on which
churches might focus on particular issues. For 2008, through our work
together in the Joint Public Issues Team, we have combined to produce a
calendar of Sundays on which organisations involved in some way with
social justice, offer worship and other resources via a web-link.
We particularly draw attention to an initiative by Church Action on
Poverty, Housing Justice and others, in bringing together Poverty Action
and Homelessness Sundays in a whole week of action on poverty and
homelessness.
The
calendar is published early, even though some dates are unconfirmed, so
that it may be included in church calendars, diaries and plans. We
suggest that congregations select subjects that will interest and
challenge, and perhaps where there is expertise available to plan a
Sunday service or some other event.
We hope people will be able to make a connection with their
faith, and prayerfully support particular local or national projects.
Some will feel able to make a practical commitment; they will need the
church’s prayerful support.
The
list is not exhaustive; please let us know if you think others should be
included by e-mailing enquiries@jointpublicissues.org.uk
