CTSL's Big Gathering: Churches tackling Serious Youth Violence
Thursday 16th November, 7 - 8.45 pm
on Zoom
Chair: Bishop Moses Owusu-Sekyere
RSVP to [email protected]
This gathering will focus on how churches are working together to tackle serious youth violence which has claimed so many young lives in London this year already.
Our speakers:
Rev Steve Chalke MBE is an author, speaker and former UN Special Advisor on Human Trafficking and Baptist minister. In 1985 he founded the Oasis Trust with a vision to build inclusive local communities. Oasis is now one of the largest charities in the UK, as well as working in a host of other countries. It provides housing, education, healthcare, various other community-building initiatives and is now working with the Ministry of Justice to create the UK’s first Secure School.
Bishop Rosemarie of Croydon will be recording a special video message for the gathering, and we will hear from Operation Forgiveness' London Team Leader, Charlotte MacDonald:
In 2010, Zac was stabbed to death outside his school by a group of boys he didn’t know. In the midst of their grief and pain his mother Sarah and sister Tayo were confronted with a question. How would they respond to the boys who took Zac’s life? Their different journeys to forgiveness are at the heart of Operation Forgiveness. Sarah and Tayo will be joining the CTSL Big Gathering alongside Charlotte and we will hear how churches can be equipped to take Operation Forgiveness into local schools. Operation Forgiveness is an interactive one-day workshop for children aged 10+ to give every child across London the opportunity to discover the power of forgiveness.
