WHY CHURCH AND SOCIETY?
The United Reformed Church has a Church and Society agenda,
because it believes that the gospel challenges the way we live,
both as society and as individuals. Church and Society seeks to
raise awareness, share information and encourage reflection and
action in local churches. It also represents concerns to
government, and others with power over the lives of the people.
LATEST INITIATIVE
The Church has criticised proposed
terrorism legislation, which would give government power to close
places of worship. View the full submission to the Home Office
consultation ‘Preventing Extremism Together – Places of Worship’
prepared by the Church and Society and the Inter-Faith Relations
committees of the URC.
