Colleagues from the advocacy, One People Commission and South Asian Forum team will be hosting a one-hour online conversation with diaspora churches and organisational leaders on the rise of public disorder and its impact on community relations.

In the past year our streets and communities have experienced a rise in the number of visual and public protests and reports of hate crime incidents. Many leaders and congregants of colour feel unsettled and anxious in this moment and so we and want to provide an opportunity to hear about the Evangelical Alliance’s political and spiritual response.

We are gathering together senior evangelical church and organisational leaders from across the UK and will offer some insights on the public order and hate crime legislation review. We will also be joined by the hate crime policy advisor for the National Police Chief’s Council and hear how they are seeking to work more closely with faith leaders and local churches across the country.
