Ruth Mason posted a blog postRacial Justice Sunday - 8th September 2013 Dreams of Beloved Community
Racial Justice Sunday is all about working together to make our churches and communities just and fair for all participants.

I took this from a Premier Reports Article that crossed my twitter feed. It's an interesting article on the proposal to relax the UK's gambling laws. I know that this is an issue that divides and brings together Christian groups. I'd be interested to hear thoughts and view points - it could be something that the churches discuss through our Public Issues Network if there is a strong will about the points raised below.

Reviewed in latest issue of Faith Initiative ed Heather Wells, a new book
