A look at UK poverty and how we can respond as Christians.
Is it really the responsibility of the Church and followers of Jesus to do something about it? To not only care but to be stirred into action? Jesus sets out his mandate in Luke 4 – focusing on the poor and oppressed. That calling is also for us today. We are to both preach and be good news. The COVID pandemic has caused an even greater income and wealth divide – low paid workers, people in debt, single parents, black and ethnic communities have all been hardest hit. How can the Church respond in the years to come? What can you do?
Chris is a Director in Christians Against Poverty with responsibility for the UK network of CAP services all run in partnership with local Churches.
