Scotland is experiencing a significant shift in their approach to helping those in the justice system better understand the impacts of early childhood trauma.
They have an aim for Scotland to be the safest country in the world, and believe they can achieve this aim through Smart Justice. Smart Justice includes tackling the underlying causes of crime and offering people who have committed crime a programme of recovery and support, so that they are better able to contribute when they return to their families and communities. It also means a collaborative approach between health, education, social work, policing, and courts.

The conference will be an opportunity to hear about the work of Fritzi Hortsman, founder of Compassion Prison Project (CPP) in the USA. Since 2019, Fritzi has been engaging prison residents in her work to understand their own childhood trauma, and by sharing the scientific research that shows the impact of ACEs on the developing brain. CPP has launched their new 12-part video series and workbook programme, entitled Trauma Talks, in prisons across the U.S. and around the globe.

We live in strange times. For decades the church in the West has seemed to be in decline. The culture has experienced more upheaval in the last three years than it has at any time since WW2. The whole world is becoming connected like never before. They tell us that times like this are ripe for revival.
So where is it?
At the Renewal for Revival’ conference, this is the question we are asking. What is God doing right now in his church? How is he stirring our hearts and giving us a new hunger for him? Could it be that there is a renewal work that he wants to do in us that comes before the revival work he want do in the world?

What does social justice look like where you are? 

During the pandemic, ‘local’ has taken on a renewed importance. The needs, characteristics and opportunities in our communities have been seen in different ways. A new role for the ‘local’ has emerged in the political landscape too, as ‘levelling up’ and regional and national identities are given new prominence. And, across the UK, grassroots organising is bringing new power to campaigning for change.

The Joint Public Issues Team’s 2022 national conference will begin with the local:

• What does social justice look like where you are?
• Where do we find hope in our neighbourhoods?
• What can we learn from those who are already doing this work?
• How can local change be part of changing the bigger picture?
• How can we unearth hope and seek justice From the Ground Up?

A global conversation about mission. Reaching the unreached with the gospel should be, and is, a multi-polar endeavour, a conversation enriched by numerous perspectives, diverse voices, Christ-exalting stories and powerful examples of contextualisation, from brothers and sisters all over the world. 
That’s what Unreached22 will feel like. Like a bustling silk-road city where dusty travellers from diverse far-flung places re-connect, swap stories, trade goods, and re-supply ready to hit the road again. There will be Biblical teaching, prayer, updates, seminars on best practice across a vast array of topics.

The conference theme is Resilience Showcase 2022. We are inviting some of the most innovative practitioners from around the country to share their creative resilience strategies shaped by the best emerging science.

The conference will be held virtual on June 29th and 30th, with two days of pre-conference training preceding the conference.  The Resilience Showcase will feature practitioners from around the country representing a variety of community sectors.  They will share innovative strategies that will expand your toolbox and spark your creativity to develop your own unique resilience strategies.

Engage more deeply with the theology of mission and explore how it relates to your own practice. The summer school will focus on Being With and reflecting on being with God, being with ourselves, being with God together, being with near and distant neighbours and being with creation. A mix of teaching, workshops, case studies and interviews the summer school will take a different theme each day:

• Being With God and Being With Ourselves
• Being With God Together
• Being with Near Neighbours
• Being With Distant Neighbours
• Being With Creation
