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.
