Social Justice

The regular team are joined by Paul Cowley of HTB and Matt Wilson of the Eden Project, to discuss their work in social transformation on the estates of London and Manchester.

What is the place of religious faith in secular politics? And should we give up everything for the poor? Shane Claiborne continues his discussion with Graham, Jane and Paula.

Shane Claiborne, founder of the Simple Way community in Philadelphia and author of The Irresistible Revolution joins Graham Tomlin, Jane Williams, and Paula Gooder to talk about his work among the inner city poor. What role does theology play in social action? How can we balance what we sense as the call of God with our commitments to family?

Graham, Mike and Jane discuss prayer with Pete Greig, a founder member of the 24-7 Prayer movement and Director of Prayer at HTB. Covering the history of the movement, they look at the growth of new monasticism and the uniting of prayer with social justice. And what are we to do with unanswered prayer?
