About this event
Are you a justice seeker, or just plain tired? Are you a petition signer, or an action taker? Are you a self-professed politics geek, or a church member searching for a way to make your voice count?
If any of those words speak to you, and even if none of them do, there is a space for you. A space to connect with other people who yearn for justice and a space to re-group. A space to get practical and a space to be heard on the topics that matter to you. A space to share wisdom and a space to be inspired.
‘For Goodness Sake!’ is being organised by the Joint Public Issues Team on behalf of the Baptist Union of Great Britain, Methodist Church and United Reformed Church, and in association with the Church of Scotland and Iona Community. It is a gathering of people who long for justice.
What will the Conference look like?
The Conference will be a mixture of worship, keynote speakers and panel events with stalls, Craftivism, Filming and Writing activities, and much, much more to be announced. It an ideal opportunity to meet with other Christian justice-seekers and to connect in a friendly space.
