Published: on 3rd March 2008 by Alix Peacock in Minster News
Dr Daleep Mukarji, Director of Christian Aid will be delivering his lecture on ‘Poverty and Prophets: Faith based Agencies and Social Justice’ in Temple Hall at York St John University on Wednesday 5th March at 7pm.
Daleep Mukarji said: ‘I am delighted to participate in this series of Ebor Lectures. I hope to focus on the scandal of poverty and inequality in a world of plenty. In this context Christians, and people of faith and goodwill, need to speak out and help build a movement for global justice and poverty eradication. Recent experience in the UK and overseas has shown people are willing to get involved – we need to build on this.’
‘Poverty is a major scandal today. Recent movements such as Jubilee 2000 and Make Poverty History have shown how faith based agencies can take a lead. This is a revitalisation of mission – Christians putting their faith into action and preaching a gospel that must be good news to the poor.
The Ebor Lectures series has been jointly organised by York Minster,
