MERSEYSIDE AND REGION CHURCH ACTION ON POVERTY invite you to make Saturday shopping different:

BECOME A PILGRIM AGAINST POVERTY.

We hope that veterans of the 1999 Pilgrimage will take part, together with plenty of new Pilgrims Against Poverty.

In 1999, thousands of people supported CAP’s Pilgrimage Against Poverty as it travelled the length of the country, from Iona to London. 10 years on, join the pilgrimage again.

On 17 October, the UN Day for the Eradication of Poverty, there will be pilgrimage walks in many cities. They will raise awareness and funds for the vital work done by CAP and by local projects.

The Merseyside and Region CAP group, in partnership with StreetFaith, are encouraging people to walk about Liverpool One and the city centre on Saturday afternoon, looking and listening to the rhythms of poverty and exclusion alongside the images and sounds of affluence. We can stop at various points on our walk to reflect and pray for different aspects of poverty in our city.

Meet at Liverpool Central Station at 2pm to walk together, or simply use the resources on our leaflet as you walk around Liverpool One or Church Street, then assemble together at 3pm at St Luke in the City (the bombed-out church) for a short reflection.
