National Justice and Peace 40th Anniversary Conference
The weekend's 40th conference of the National Justice and Peace Network (NJPN) in Derbyshire took the theme, 'In the shelter of each other the people live'. More than 200 diocesan J&P representatives, missionary groups and Church agencies explored building a Church and a society with the marginalised, the excluded and the most vulnerable at its heart.
A full report is coming soon but youtube footage of the speakers is already available.

- Al Barrett Vicar in Birmingham working on building community
- John Grogan MP Catholic MP committed to social justice
- Sarah Teather Director of Jesuit Refugee Service
- David McLoughlin Theologian offering radical readings of the Bible for Christian activists

Each is split into two parts [the second usually being the Q&A after the talk] this keeps each video below the one-hour mark: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kkyXpch4sg&list=PL5UUtVasGFc86xfJa4vp-uhh6jSE3bhq5
