Al Barrett and Ruth Harley open a door to a creative disruption of the status quo, ‘from the outside, in’: the in-breaking of the wild reality of the ‘Kin-dom’ of God. Through careful and unsettling readings in Mark’s gospel, alongside stories from a multicultural outer estate in east Birmingham, they paint a vivid picture of an ‘alternative economy’ for the Church’s life and mission, which begins with transformative encounters with neighbours and strangers at the edges of our churches, our neighbourhoods and our imaginations, and offers new possibilities for repentance and resurrection.

Using the recently published ABC's Commission Booklets this conversation will help is explore the practicalities, planning and evaluation of mission in a New Housing context. Please see Section C - How to work together as the body of Christ and Section E - How to engage in different contexts by following this link: https://newhousinghub.org/the-archbishops-commission-on-housing-church-and-community-information-and-resources/

Who is it for? People with experience (or wanting experience) in engaging in mission within new housing as a practitioner and/or enabler

Aim - to enable relationships and networks to develop around new housing engagement across denominations to make a difference at both strategic and grassroots levels. We hope to strengthen and encourage one another in our mission and ministry and inspire and equip others to join in sharing God's love with new housing areas around the country.

What contributions can Christians and churches make to addressing the global environmental crisis, and what it might mean for us to play a part in healing the earth, instead of exploiting it?

History has documented time and time again that God uses the events of an “Evil Day” to become the set-up for His power and glory to be revealed. God is about to do something extraordinary.

We have taken divine inspiration from Revelation 12:11: “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.”

There are three weapons listed here to defeat the evil one in order to push back and overcome the prevailing spiritual darkness. All three of them will be showcased with solid Biblical teaching as well as inspiring and empowering testimonies from our leadership around the globe.

God is turning impossible situations and set-backs into set-ups for His breakthrough!

While the pace of the vaccine roll-out and the Government’s road map may have given many of us hope for the future, the impact of the coronavirus pandemic is far from over, especially for the poorest in our nation.

At the 11th annual Jubilee+ Churches that Change Communities  conference, we will be exploring what comes next. With many of our churches already at the forefront of social action and justice in our communities, what will we do if the needs around us rise significantly? How will we support those who were already in poverty and those who have been plunged into it by the economic impact of the pandemic?

Churches all across the country are asking, “What next?” At Jubilee+ we believe it is time to move beyond projects: we want to see people set free from poverty and injustice and empowered to stay free.
