<em>Just People:</em> The Micah Course

(To view the video online you will need to have Adobe's Flash Player version 8 or higher, it is available as a Free Download)

Have you ever wondered what would happen if your church took seriously ‘acting justly, loving mercy and walking humbly with God’ (Micah 6:8)? You are warmly invited to join with others in finding out.

As part of Micah Challenge UK, two key member organisations have developed a course for churches to use to help them discover how tackling poverty and pursuing justice, both locally and globally, are at the heart of Christian mission. The course has been called Just People: the Micah course. This course brings together down-to-earth theology, reflection, inspiration and experience with practical exercises. It will help your church grapple with issues of justice and poverty and think practically about how they can respond effectively as an integral part of their mission.

Two workshops will be run to equip you to run this course at your church (London, Saturday 15 September; Leeds, Saturday 29 September). These days will be fun and interactive and you will be taken through the material, how it works and have any questions answered. You will also get to meet people from the previous courses that have been run to find out what they did and how they got on.


For more information on Just People: the Micah Course and how to register for one of the workshop days please visit: www.micahchallenge.org.uk/resources/justpeople.htm

The UK Church: Big shots, wimps or just humble servants?
Recent comments by American pastor and author Mark Driscoll regarding the state of Britain’s church leaders in a Christianity magazine interview have spawned a barrage of protests, but also a few defenders, from Christians on this side of the pond. To get to the heart of the debate, we asked two British pastors to answer this question: Do we really need more well-known, influential Bible teachers in Britain?
