OXFORD-New Marston: OWW Hope in Action
One World Week - HOPE IN ACTION
This will be an interfaith occasion for celebrating diversity and
sharing concerns for our future with the theme ‘Hope in Action’
Date and Time: Saturday 24th October 2015
10.00 am to 2.00 pm.
Venue: St Michael's Church
Marston Road
New Marston
Oxford, OX3 0JA
There will be six separate areas in the church, each being a study area for a topic.
The topics will include:
pro-poor governments (South America’s experience)
anti-austerity movements and world trade
war and nonviolence
food justice
migrants, refugees and asylum seekers
the culture, insights and resources of world faiths including
Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Sikhism and maybe others
Each study area will have one or more of the following:
information sheets, pictures, artefacts, slide show, a talk, discussions, etc
People who attend are invited to spend as much time as they wish in any or all of the topic areas they choose.
There will be short periods when we gather together
to share what we’ve learned from the stalls, celebrate our unity
and plan action to express our hopes for the future.
