Just Church: let justice roll

Just Church is available from www.justchurch.info. (You may have seen earlier adverts giving the address www.justchurch.org.uk. Unfortunately, we are having technical difficulties with that address, so it is not available for the time being. Apologies for the confusion.)

Just Church can help your group or church to more fully reflect God's concern for the poor in every aspect of your life. It will help you to explore ways of taking practical action to build a more just church and a more just world.

Practise justice in Lent...
We've designed a special Just Church Lent programme, with six modules that will help you reflect on different aspects of the theme, and develop an action plan to launch at Easter. This Lent, practise justice and make a real difference in your church and community.
You can download the Lent programme here.

Design your own programme...
There are twelve Just Church modules, all available as free downloads. They cover every aspect of a congregation's life and faith, from Jesus and the use of the Bible, through children's work, prayer and worship, to how you can live out your faith in the wider community and take transformative action in the world.
You can mix and match modules to create a programme that best reflects the needs and concerns of your own community. We also offer plenty of guidance on how to plan and run a programme.
Find out more about the modules here.

Take practical action for justice...
Just Church is designed to help you develop an action plan, that will embed concerns for poverty and social justice into your congregation's life for the future.
When you've completed the course, the hope is that you will have a covenant service as a whole church, where you commit together to this plan. You'll then receive a Just Church certificate from Church Action on Poverty.

Join other churches across the UK...
When you run a Just Church programme, you'll be joining other groups across the country who are tackling the same issues in their own communities. The Just Church website will include a section where you can share your stories - your achievements and the obstacles you've faced - with other churches. Share your problems and draw inspiration from others.

An ecumenical project...
Just Church has been developed by a team of writers and editors who are all well-known experts in their fields. It's supported and endorsed by a range of church bodies including: the Baptist Union, the Shaftesbury Society, the Church Urban Fund, Hope 2008, the Methodist Church, Stewardship, the Iona Community, livesimply, Housing Justice, the United Reformed Church, the National Justice and Peace Network, and the Scottish Episcopal Church.
The programme is suitable for all churches, whatever your tradition or denomination. All the materials are designed to be flexible and adaptable, so that they can better reflect your own concerns and tradition.
