Timely Christian conference on Justice and the Economy takes place on Saturday

After the Budget comes a timely event at Holy Nativity, Mixenden, which is hosting a ‘Justice and the Economy’ conference on Saturday, November 2.
‘Justice and the Economy’ will be a thought-provoking event that tackles the subject of fairness and finance, engaging attendees in a discussion of how economic systems can impact social justice.
Topics will include wealth distribution, community organising, and sustainable practices.
The conference will include input from the Rt Revd Smitha Prasadam, Bishop of Huddersfield, and speakers including Chris Baker of the William Temple Foundation, Rosie Venner of the Just Money Movement and community organiser Val Barron.
The keynote speaker in the day-long event that starts at 9am is Michael Mather (pictured), an ordained United Methodist clergy person from the USA. He has been serving churches (mainly in low-income, low-wealth parishes) since 1985 and is the author of “Having Nothing, Possessing Everything: Finding Abundant Communities in Unexpected Places.” He is currently the pastor of First United Methodist Church of Boulder, Colorado.
The Revd Robb Sutherland, vicar at Holy Nativity, Mixenden, said: “This conference is a chance for the church and those who work with churches to come together to explore how the Christian faith has much to say about injustice and also how the way we follow Jesus offers solutions to many of the challenges we see.”
