About "Life Beyond Debt"
Life Beyond Debt is the Evangelical Alliance's response to the current economic crisis. We firmly believe that the Bible is outspoken on issues of poverty and injustice and we want to encourage churches to be equally vocal. With their national networks and local presence, the church is uniquely positioned to help people who are in debt, have lost their jobs or are otherwise struggling with their finances. By combining the conviction that motivates our action with the resources and organisations already established, the church can develop its engagement to bring vital aid to those who are in the greatest need.
The turbulent times that we are currently experiencing will undoubtedly leave an indelible mark on our economic and social landscape. As well as helping to make a practical difference in the communities where we live, now is a vital time to think about the role that money plays in our life. Throughout the year Life Beyond Debt will look at different themes coming out of this crisis, from what the church teaches about money, to what the Christian faith has to say about the way our economic system is structured.
Launched at a special conference in London, Life Beyond Debt has brought together many of the leading Christian organisations that work in this field in the belief that together we can be more effective. If you would like to find out more about the conference which was addressed by Hazel Blears MP, Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, have a look here.
At the Life Beyond Debt conference a statement was issued calling the church to think biblically and act practically to offer much needed help in their communities. You can see the statement here and if you would like to be added to the groups or individuals associated with it please email: lifebeyonddebt@eauk.org
There are countless ways in which churches can engage in their communities and hopefully you will find the resources on this site a useful stepping stone. If you have resources which you think would be helpful for other churches to use, or look at, please let us know.
