Justice Series Resources
We hope that you have enjoyed/been challenged by/feel inspired by the series on ‘Justice’ that we have recently seen and heard on Sunday mornings.
If you missed any of the sessions, or would like to watch some again, then you will find them all on the Community Church YouTube channel:
Here is the video kindly recorded for TCC by Dr Krish Kandiah
Dr Kandiah is a social entrepreneur with a vision to help solve some of society’s seemingly intractable problems through building partnerships across civil society, faith communities, government and philanthropy. Krish is the founder of The Sanctuary Foundation. A charity supporting refugees to find welcome, work and worthwhile housing in the UK. He is recognised as an expert in refugee resettlement , child welfare reform, educational innovation and civil society mobilisation. He served as the chair of the Adoption and Special Guardianship Leadership Board where he brought strategic leadership to the finding of permanent loving families for children in the care system working across the sector and advising the English government.
Here is the prayer read by Tom Hanks that Krish refers to.
