Just People?
 This six-week interactive course brings together down-to-earth theology, reflection, inspiration and experience with practical exercises. It will help us grapple with issues of justice and poverty and think practically about how we can respond effectively as an integral part of their mission. A highlight of the course is a ‘day of action’ organised by the course participants inspired by what they have been exploring.
The aims and focus of the course can be summed up in one passage: when Micah asks God what is required of him, the answer is:
‘He has shown all you people what is good. And what does the LORD require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.’ (Micah 8)
What does God ask of us and ENC? What does it mean to live out what we discover, both in our local community and globally?
These are the questions that Just People? is designed to help you begin to address.
Just People? consists of a DVD which has inspirational stories from churches around the UK and six talks based on different aspects of the course.
The six sessions cover:
ROOTS – the theology behind Christian concern for justice MISSION – more about integral, joined up mission
COMPASSION – A church that merciful and compassionate POLITICS – A church that works for justice
ACTION- a day of collective action by participants CHURCH - What does all this mean for how we operate as a church?
COST- The personal challenge to be just people
The next course is due to start after Easter in 2012
