What does it mean to be a good neighbour on a global scale? Theos researcher Simon Perfect will chair this talk given by the Bishop of London.
What does it mean to be a good neighbour on a global scale? How might Brexit impact on our ability to live up to that challenge? Has the coronavirus pandemic taught us anything about solidarity with our international neighbours in a time of far–reaching disaster? How might all of this shape our approach to climate change?
The Rt Revd Sarah Mullally, the Bishop of London, will explore these questions at this event hosted by JustShare on 13th April, asking how we might engage with our neighbours’ struggles, allow our lives to be diverted off course for the sake of their wellbeing, and recognise our resources as theirs.
13th April, 6–7.30pm
