<\/div>\n

Are you wondering what\u2019s going to happen at our 2025 Justice Conference For Goodness Sake!<\/strong>?<\/p>\n

Speaker announcements are winding their way to you but, for now, here\u2019s a sneak peak of what you can expect on the day:<\/p>\n

Morning<\/h2>\n

Welcome and Worship<\/strong><\/p>\n

Get a coffee and have a chat when you arrive and then move into the main hall for a warm welcome and inspiring time of prayer, facilitated by a leading expert in justice-centred worship.<\/p>\n

Keynote and Panel<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our first keynote and panel will address the question, \u201cWhat is ours to do?\u201d It is so easy to get overwhelmed by all of the injustice we notice and experience every day. Our speakers are active in justice-seeking work and have lots to share about how we might pray, speak and act for justice today. Watch this space for speaker announcements coming soon!<\/p>\n

Listening Spaces<\/strong><\/p>\n

Which voices are being heard loud and clear? Whose voices are being ignored? Our six listening spaces will build on community organising practices to enable us to hear each-other\u2019s voices, and the voices of those most effected by issues of injustice. These will include spaces for listening to people live from Gaza, people with lived experience of poverty and marginalisation, a creative exploration of how we might witness to environmental justice, and more. <\/p>\n

Lunch<\/h2>\n

Conversation Spaces<\/strong><\/p>\n

During lunchtime, there will be the option to take a break and\/or to listen to each-other more. Facilitated conversation spaces over lunch will enable networking around the topics that matter to you.<\/p>\n

Afternoon<\/h2>\n

Keynote<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our second keynote will be given by an inspiring speaker whose name you will recognise, and who is known for speaking truth to power in love. Watch this space to find out who we are talking about.<\/p>\n

Workshops<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our workshops are an opportunity to skill up and to share your knowledge and experiences, too. They include spaces to explore worship and justice, narrative psychology, community organising, building relationships with politicians and more. Our workshop leaders include folks from the Iona Community, Just Money, the Trussell Trust, and individuals with insider (and outsider!) knowledge about doing politics differently.<\/p>\n

Closing Worship and Goodbye<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our closing worship will prepare us to take our new experiences and connections back out into the world as we continue to long, pray and work for justice.<\/p>\n

Throughout the Day<\/h2>\n

Stalls<\/strong><\/p>\n

There will be stalls from a wide range of organisations who can support you in working for justice where you are.<\/p>\n

Craftivism, Filming and Writing<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our craftivism, filming, and writing activities will provide a range of ways to share our voices with members of the public, of our churches, and politicians.<\/p>\n

Quiet Space<\/strong><\/p>\n

A quiet space will be available throughout the day for reflection, prayer, meditation and rest.<\/p>\n

Space to Connect<\/strong><\/p>\n

Space to connect over refreshments will be available throughout the day. Who will you meet at For Goodness Sake! A gathering of Christians who long for justice.<\/p>\n
