Being church on the margins

We're also holding an online discussion each Thursday, specifically about what it means to be a 'church on the margins' during the outbreak. Join us for some theologucal reflection and sharing stories of good practice. You need to book in advance for this one.

Do you have a story to share?

We invite creatives and anyone experiencing the crisis to share stories with us. We want to understand the issues people are facing and spread messages of positivity and resilience.
