Community and conversation around faith and social justice.
About: London Hub
This month, we're launching a London Hub for the Just Love Network, serving as a space of support and action specifically organised around people living in London.
At Just Love, we constantly meet people who are committed to the long-term work of justice, but who are looking for depth, connection, and community. There is a strong desire for spaces to learn and grow at the nexus of spiritual formation and social justice.
We’re looking forward to sharing the details of what this group will look like at the launch, but in the meantime, you can find out more about what Just Love Regional Hubs are here. Come be part of this growing community, joining over 50 other Christian young adults committed to supporting each other in the work of faith and justice here in London.
In Conversation: Neil Grant
The London Hub is all about breaking open huge topics and getting practical. For this first event, we're joined by Dr Neil Grant, a climate scientist, community activist, and member of the Just Love Network.
Through an interview and Q&A, Neil will share his perspective on the state of the global environment post-COP28 in Dubai, leading us in thinking about the key priorities for climate action in 2024:
Where are we at?
What needs to happen this year?
What are the signs of hope? What are the big fears?
Neil works for the German policy think tank Climate Analytics and lives in a small intentional community in West London, where he helps run North Kensington Community Energy (NKCE), an award-winning organisation delivering community-owned solar power and investing in the local area.
What to expect
Across 2024, we aim to host "In Conversation" nights like this at least once a quarter, alongside smaller spin-off events, projects and learning communities across the city. We're trialing a simple threefold structure:
A short time of guided prayer and sung worship
An interview + Q&A with a member of the Just Love Network
Breakout spaces to chat, reflect, and process together
There will also be lots of social time to connect and hang out - come from 6.30pm for a 7.00pm start, and we'll wrap up by 9pm, in time for a pub trip for those who are keen.
Get in touch with Tim Lornie if you'd like to help with refreshments, tech or another practical aspect of the evening. tim.lornie@justloveuk.com
