I take no joy in sharing this Oliver Ryan MP Afrasiab Anwar MBE 💙 The CofE in Lancashire (Blackburn Diocese) but in Burnley 40% of neighbourhoods are highly deprived against a National figure of 10%. Out of 296 councils Burnley ranked as the 7th worse. Lived here all my life, no authority has ever resolved poverty
Inspirational talk by Rob Wickham from Church Urban Fund speaking at our Southwark Diocese Jubillee conference looking at how our churches can make an impact in their communities. Wonderful to have Bishop of Southwark welcome us to the day.
Insightful gathering of Church Urban Fund Academy today Canterbury Cathedral We discussed public square theology shaped by low income communities. Thank you BishopOfDover for wisdom. We prayed too for BishopSarah
I was at Manchester Cathedral today for a round table discussion on poverty - part of this year’s events marking 40 years since the Church’s landmark Faith in the City report. Its call to action remains as urgent as ever — to build a bold vision and a clear plan to end poverty.
Yesterday we highlighted the work of Greater Together Manchester and their collaborative approach in responding to growing poverty. This in the spirit of Faith in the City, looking back to the future. Gospel mission in action. Archbishop of York Manchester Cathedral Diocese of Manchester
