Faith, Money and Justice: Reclaiming community wealth and transforming systems in the Black church tradition
Join us to explore how Black Majority Churches can reclaim community wealth and challenge systems that harm our communities. We will look at the unique contribution of Black Majority Churches in the UK’s economic justice landscape.
Our key speaker will be Dionne Gravesande, co-chair for the National Church Leaders Forum, an organisation committed to facilitating a Black Christian voice in the UK. The webinar will be hosted by Pastor George Amadi, JustMoney’s Movement Builder with Black Majority Churches.
