Social Reformers Summer School, 20 - 23 July 2017, UK

Description

The Jubilee Centre ran three successful Winter Schools a few years back.  We’ve completely redesigned the school to focus on equipping Christian social reformers for today.

Down through the centuries Christians have cared for the broken and outcast, challenged corrupt institutions and practices, and established initiatives and organisations to help society move closer to God’s intentions. They were driven by a deep conviction that Christ’s work of redemption extends beyond the salvation of souls to the transformation of society itself.

Social reform is part of a long-term movement to change the values, institutions and structures of society for the better. This may involve engaging with politics, but it also extends to businesses, civic groups, public sector organisations and the charity sector.

Christian social reformers don’t just run big campaigns or try to change national laws. They undertake careful research, build collaborative partnerships and tackle the underlying causes of injustice and poverty, while promoting positive changes in social values, based on God’s compassion and justice.
