Film on Nehemiah 5 Challenge




Leaders from our Pentecostal partner churches explain the Nehemiah 5 Challenge - a Biblical call to action against exploitative lending - in a film directed and produced by Jellicoe intern Liliana Worth.

The Nehemiah 5 Challenge will be launched by Citizens UK at a service on May 2nd at Emmanuel Evangelical Church, Westminster at 10.30am - before a 2000-person assembly in Methodist Central Hall. This is part of Citizens UK's Day for Civil Society.

The Contextual Theology Centre has further materials for congregations in Citizens UK on a new website - http://tools4organising.org/.  These include a booklet on The Bible, Debt and Usury by Dr Sola Fola-Alade (Trinity Chapel, Beckton) and Centre Director Dr Angus Ritchie - and a briefing on Christian teaching on usury by Centre Fellow Dr Luke Bretherton.
