Making a difference

By / 17 July 2007

There are lots of ways you can make a difference by doing what you can, where you are. It’s the normal things which make a difference. Of course, you may like to consider contributing to the ministry of this office in a more direct way – if so, you’ll be pleased to know there is something in it for you, too (other than the really good vibe!).

There are lots of ways you can contribute – here are just three suggestions.

Firstly, you may have a recipe  you would like to contribute. Is there food and a story to go with it that you would be willing to share? Food and justice go together for all sorts of reasons, and the things we cook often come with a story attached – it might be a story of families, of longings, of protest, of hope. It might be a plain story or an extravagant story – just like the food!  (the same goes for stories of work you are engaged in, of course – we would love to hear!)

Second, you might like to become one of our online reviewers – music, books, films. If so, get in touch. As is usual with such things, we supply you with a copy of the item for review, which is yours to keep. If you have things you would especially like to review, we’d also love to hear from you.

Thirdly, please continue to pray for the work of this office, the work of the Commission, and the life of this church as it seeks to make God’s justice known in these islands. Feel free to email us with prayer requests of your own, or add these to our website under a new category

Contributors to Just Living receive a DVD or Book Token as a koha, and we also give away a DVD to the person with the best contribution to the website each month.

In addition, we are always on the look out for art (of all kinds) and poetry that we can use to help increase engagement in and awareness of justice and injustice in these islands. Art has a way of causing us to see the world differently – and that’s what justice is all about too. So if you are an artist, or know of things which might be of interest, do get in touch – you might have the cover for our next resource or Just Living!

Peace

Anthony

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.
