Our friends at Project Bonhoeffer are teaming up with SCM to explore how we can have fruitful conversations across political divides...
📅 Saturday 20th June
📍 Emmanuel Centre, Woodhouse Lane, LS2 3AR
What would it look like to take Jesus’s command to do good to those who hate us seriously? Where do we draw the line between loving our enemies, and protecting vulnerable people from harm; is it possible to do both? What seeds of goodness might grow in ground we've written off as barren?
Join SCM and Project Bonhoeffer as we explore these questions and more on the theme of loving our neighbour in a time of rising violent far-right activity.
🎟️ Students and recent graduates can book an SCM ticket - everyone else can book a Project Bonhoeffer ticket at movement.org.uk/events See less

An opportunity to hear about SCM's work over the past year and for members to elect new representatives to General Council.
