MONTHLY MEETING Wednesday 2nd June at 7.30pm Speaker JOHN COOPER –

Director of the Fellowship of Reconciliation. He has worked, previously, for agencies that help churches engage in advocacy and action to help shape the world into something more just, including Christian Aid and the Joint Public Issues Team. In 2020, he travelled to Fiji with the World Council of Churches to learn about Britain’s history of nuclear testing in the Pacific Region. (AND – he grew up in Faringdon!)

 

The title of John’s talk is:

Grappling with the Past to build a Peaceful Future

 www.faringdonpeacegroup.org.uk .

John will talk about the heritage of Britain’s Nuclear Testing in the Pacific Region (recently covered in BBC One’s “Call the Midwife”). Having explored the health and environmental concerns, he’ll then pose a question. If we believe black lives matter, does that mean recognising the real impact of the nuclear testing when calling for a nuclear free future?

 

So –  definitely a meeting not to be missed. Zoom link below – and on homepage of website .  The zoom meeting will be open from 7.15pm – to give us time for pre-meeting chat.
