Let justice roll on like a river,
righteousness like a never-failing stream.
Amos 5:24

"At one of our Diocesan Justice and Peace Days, I was involved in an exploratory run through some of the Just Church resources. We found them rightly challenging and very helpful. And affirming as well - they help you recognise the good things and strengths that already exist. I am recommending them as a valuable resource to all our parishes."
Rt Revd John Hawsthorne, Roman Catholic Bishop of Hallam

"The scandal of structural and systemic poverty in Britain is one that should not be permitted to go hidden or unnoticed any longer. Just Church provides an excellent resource for challenging all of us to remember the Biblical mandate to provide justice for the poor and the marginalised."
Dr Anthony G Reddie, Research Fellow in Black Theological Studies, The Methodist Church & The Queen's Foundation, Birmingham

"I think the materials on Just Church are very good indeed, and hope they will enable many local churches to embed the gospel concern for justice more deeply into their lives."
Baroness Kathleen Richardson
