The activists who earlier in the day where on trial for similar actions had their charges dismissed by magistrate. One of the Bonhoffer 4 (named after the Prime Minister’s hero) Simon Reeves said “Magistrate agrees sanctity of life is more important than unjust laws.”

About us

This site is run by the Social Justice Commission of the Anglican Church.

We seek to nurture justice spirituality and imagination, and engage in advocacy in all areas of life, overcoming poverty and transforming violence.

We encourage people to think and live “justly”, and emphasise debate and action on local, national and global issues.

Although we are Anglican, our vision isn’t so much about being Anglican. It’s about living justly. Justice is about how you live your life, and being just where we are. Working together, we can all flourish.
