DESCRIPTION:Our fifth annual Gore Lecture in Public Theology\, Life on the
  Breadline: Theology\, mission and the scandal of systemic poverty\, will 
 be presented by Dr Chris Shannahan from Coventry University on Child Pover
 ty.\n\nTraumatising systemic poverty is a scandal that contradicts the wil
 l and the nature of God. Drawing on the recent Life on the Breadline resea
 rch project\, this lecture will explore the complex character of austerity
 -age poverty\, the debilitating impact it has on individuals and communiti
 es and the challenge this poses to a Church that is called to ‘transform
  structural injustice’. Rooting reflections in the varied Christian resp
 onses to poverty identified during Life on the Breadline\, the lecture wil
 l show that the Church stands at a Kairos moment and suggest that we need 
 to build on but move beyond ‘caring’\, ‘campaigning’\, ‘enterpri
 se’ and ‘community building’ to fashion a liberative theology\, an o
 utward facing missiology and a prophetic presence in the public sphere tha
 t can force death-dealing poverty into retreat.  \n\nEveryone is welcome t
 o join this FREE event. Book your ticket to secure a place.
