Arun Arora, author of Stick With Love, will be speaking at Living Well: AMEN & USPG Conference on Sat, 4 Nov 2023 at 10:00 - 16:00 GMT.

The Living Well day conference is jointly hosted by AMEN (Anglican Minority Ethnic Network) and USPG. Together, and will be asking what 'Living Well' looks like for Christians. How to live well within oneself (focusing on wellbeing and addressing internalised racism), how to live well within the Church, and how to live well within our communities and wider society. As we navigate these questions, we will see how drawing from Jesus, the living well, is the key.

This conference will draw upon the Church of England's Living Ministry's report from the study exploring the wellbeing experiences of Global Majority Heritage (GMH) clergy led by Selina Stone.

The speakers for the event are:

Rev'd Dr Evie Vernon, a Jamaican Educator who has worked in the Caribbean and the UK, presently an Honorary Assistant Curate, St Mildred’s Croydon, Trustee of Inclusive Church, and Former Theological Advisor to USPG.

Canon Sanjee Perera - Cognitive Psychologist and Ecclesiologist, Associate at Virginia Theological Seminary, and formerly Archbishops' Advisor on Minority Ethnic Affairs, Church of England.

Joining this joint AMEN and USPG conference will also be Bishop of Kirkstall, Arun Arora and Bishop of Huddersfield, Smitha Prasadam.

Where: 

St Matts Leeds

275 Burley Road Burley LS4 2EL

Stick With Love By Arun Arora The Archbishop of York's Advent Book for 2023 'What a delight... a fascinating mix of characters whose stories bring to life the Way of Love to which Jesus calls us all.' BISHOP MICHAEL B. CURRY 'A wonderful series of short reflections... easy to read but packed with depth and insight.' PAULA GOODER Martin Luther King famously declared that 'I have decided to stick with love... Hate is too great a burden to bear'. In these luminous daily readings, Arun Arora helps us consider the biblical picture of the Church as the people of God, drawn from every tribe, every tongue and every nation. Themes of racial justice, hospitality and welcome are explored alongside the stories of saints from across the globe. Beginning with reflections from Isaiah and Revelation, the meditations lead us on to consider the missionaries, martyrs and mystics who light our Advent way. BUY HERE
