Who are we?

The group is made of  members of the church family at St John’s, Ranmoor, with the full support of the Parochial Church council, who share a concern about social  justice issues.


Who can be a member?
Anyone who is concerned about social justice issues.


How often do we meet?
Approximately three or four times a year or more  often, if needed. We meet to discuss issues and events that we are  concerned about  and are  supporting.


What are our aims?

1. To respond to human need by loving service
2. To seek to transform  unjust structures of  society
3.  To challenge violence and prejudice of every kind and to pursue peace and reconciliation
4. To strive to safeguard the integrity of creation and sustain and renew the life of the earth
5. To bear witness to the joy of Gospel in seeking to transform our society

What do we do?

•     We organise  and support events promoting awareness of social justice issues e.g. Christian aid week
•     We take part in coordinated action in our Church, our Diocese and across the world  in an attempt  to tackle poverty, suffering and prejudice.
•     We seek to find ways of promoting an awareness of the importance of safeguarding the world and its resources.
•     We recommend charities local, nation and international for the Church council to  consider supporting each year.
•     We raise awareness of and coordinate involvement in emergency relief appeals.
