CITYtheology Summer 2024

Turning Key Moments into Movements for Change

Ahead of his Hook Lecture in October, Richard Reddie reflects on racial justice in the UK, how far we’ve come, how far we’ve still to go - and the role of the Church in proactively seeking justice.

The Gap Between Mercy and Justice

Alison Webster’s talk at our God Church and Citizens event last year blew us away - we couldn’t wait to read her latest reflection on community organising as a form of active discipleship and a tool for enacting real change.

Mixed Feelings

LCI’s own Alistair Cheetham reflects on the difficult path for Christians supporting Pride Month, and his own journey navigating that path. Can we celebrate Pride while so many LGBTQ+ people still suffer exclusion in church and society?

We Want a Life Like Yours

Leeds poet Sean Coppinger creatively draws out the theme of this year’s Disability Pride Month, and explores the complex emotions of navigating society as a Disabled Christian. Sean is part of the group planning our Beyond Inclusion Retreat in September.
