MJR is running a short weekend course entitled: 'Free to Forgive: Justice, Reconciliation and the Legacy of Slavery' in Manchester on June 24-25. It will be hosted by the Moss Lane East Church of God of Prophecy in Moss Side. The course is designed to increase our understanding of how modern society has been affected by the legacy of oppression left by colonial slavery and industrial exploitation, and how as Christians we should handle that knowledge in the light of Christ’s work of redemption on the cross.
