How are we, in our local areas, part of the Big Picture?<\/p>\n<p>In this month\u2019s interview, Kevin Snyman asks another big question. How can we design a world that doesn\u2019t depend on money? Money creates divide and poverty, and is counter to the Gospel of Jesus, he says.<\/p>\n<p>And a third question. What should ministers wear? Four contributors debate the dos and don\u2019ts of \u201cdog collars\u201d and other clerical garb \u2013 it\u2019s more complicated than you might think.<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere, the URC\u2019s Safeguarding Lead says biblical values have their place in the Church\u2019s safeguarding policy. We also hear reports from two inspiring conferences: Junction 25, a unique space for 18-25-year-olds to discuss how faith works itself out in their lives; and Conversations at the Crossroads, which looked at how the URC builds new communities.<\/p>\n<p>This and all the regular columns and reviews.<\/p>\n<p>The Issue 2\/2025 edition of <em>Reform<\/em> is available from 9 March.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reform-magazine.co.uk\/?campaignkw=reform%20magazine\"><strong>Subscribe to&nbsp;<em>Reform<\/em><\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;digitally or in print.
