We are a

Jubilee Congregation

Instead of a world where a child dies every three seconds because of poverty...

 

 

we want to see a world where:

·      poor people and poor nations are set free from poverty

·       unjust and unpayable debt is cancelled

·       debt relief is not used as an instrument of power and control

·                 there are fair, democratic and open processes to deal with historic debt and prevent future crises

·        loans and debt repayments do not damage people, their

communities or their environment

 

This is a vision of Justice

This is a vision of Jubilee

it embodies aspirations and values shared by people of all faiths. It echoes the trumpet call

of Jubilee first heard In the ancient scriptures of the Jewish and Christian faiths: when

those enslaved as a result of debt are freed, lands lost because of debt are returned and

communities torn by inequality are restored. It is the call to

 

 

“let the oppressed go free"

Isaiah 58:6

 

 

 

Selly Oak Methodist Church

has pledged to play its part in making this vision a reality
