Brexit: Reimagining the Common Good - London
@Mount Street Jesuit Centre 114 Mount Street London W1K 3AY
A debate and discussion for young Christians of all traditions to reimagine the Common Good for our nation post Brexit. Three and a half years on from the EU Referendum, the United Kingdom remains divided. What does it look like, in the face of such intractable division to seek the Common Good? What inspiration can we draw from the Christian tradition to heal divides in our nation and find a way forward? We are delighted to be joined by a panel of brilliant speakers for an evening of 'disagreeing well' as we forge a Common Good vision for the future of Britain - irrespective of how Brexit turns out.
