For those who stand in resistance

By / 18 June 2010

I Am The Captain Of My Soul

Out of the night that covers me
black as the pit from pole to pole
I thank whatever gods may be
for my unconquerable soul

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud
Under the bludgeonings of chance
my head is bloody, but unbowed

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
looms but the horror of the shade
and yet the menace of the years
finds, and shall find me, unafraid

It matters not how strait the gate
how charged with punishments the scroll
I am the master of my fate
I am the captain of my soul

“Invictus,”
by William Earnest Henley

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.

Just Booklets produced by the Justice Commission appear as booklets  and study guides around a variety of important and engaging topics – food, gardening, peace, lignite, with many more to come. From now on, they will be coming directly to you.

Just Living Booklets are subscription-only publications, so if you or your church want copies, sign up! There is no charge. Simple as that.

You might like to consider becoming a contact person/distributor to help raise awareness of Just Booklets  in your church or organisation.If you have an idea for a booklet, or even the desire to write. We seek to draw upon the expertise of the whole church. If you’d like to share your story about some aspect of justice or injustice, or some story about your passions and/or your life, email or call Anthony.
