‘The Right to Protest’

Adam Slate, Minister-elect

Over the past few years, the right to protest nonviolently has eroded, making it harder and harder for people of faith and people of conscience to make strong, peaceful public statements about issues that can be matters of life and death to humans around the globe. This year in the UK alone, several clergy have been arrested and at least one place of worship has been forcibly entered and searched, all for peacefully and nonviolently living their ethical and faith values. What is the implication of this erosion of rights for religious and spiritual communities, and how can we safeguard our freedom to seek moral harmony with the world around us?

Attend either online or in person at the Newington Green Meeting House, 39a Newington Green, London, N16 9PR (fully accessible). Go here for more information and the Zoom link, and here for directions to the Meeting House.

There’s no Kids’ Club this week, as the group is on summer break. Children and young people are welcome in the chapel.
