Stories are what keep us going. Join us this summer for food, poetry & storytelling with Just Love & friends.
"Memory produces hope." Amid the vast challenges of our time, remembering our stories is an urgent task: if change has happened before, it can happen again. At Just Love, we believe in the power of storytelling to open up new ways of seeing God, each other and the world.
This summer, join Just Love & friends for an evening of food, poetry and storytelling, hearing from justice practitioners young and old. Here in Birmingham on the 9th of June, we'll hear from Ash and Anji Barker of Newbigin House, along with Just Love students and graduates about the work they're doing, and the highs and lows of justice activism.
This event is open to all Just Love students, alumni and supporters, whether in the West Midlands or from further afield. Location details will be sent when you get a ticket below.
What’s the evening going to look like?
This evening will be an opportunity to connect with the Just Love movement in Birmingham and across the West Midlands, to stop and listen in-depth to people's stories and experiences.
