Just Church programme

What can we do to make concerns for tackling UK poverty centre-stage in our churches' lives? How can we be more 'Just Churches' in our worship, our work with children, our personal lifestyles, our local communities and our wider political engagement? 

Concerns for tackling poverty and social justice are at the heart of the Gospel.  There is a rich biblical tradition from the Old Testament prophets through the Gospels and New Testament.  This has been carried forward in differing ways by all the major Christian traditions to the modern day. 

The Just Church programme

Just Church is a new programme to help churches embed a concern for social justice into their lives. It's been developed by Church Action on Poverty, and was launched in November 2007.

The programme consists of twelve modules.  It enables local churches to develop their own programme of reflection, planning and action, based around their own local situations, preferences, and level of interest.

It draws on existing resources for promoting social justice, and links them with wider understandings of mission and ecclesiology across the denominational and theological spectrum.  There are also rich reflective and worship resources
