Space For God

Steve Chalke to Speak in Sydney

Posted: 31/07/2007

Jesus tells us "the poor you will always have with you" (Matthew 26:11). Perhaps one of the more novel interpretations of this verse has been to suggest that since poverty is inevitable, social justice has no place in the role of the Christian. It is argued that Christians would be better off dedicating all of their spare time to converting people. For Steve Chalke, the chair of Stop the Traffik, an organisation dedicated to fight against human trafficking, this suggestion is absurd. This Wednesday night, Chalke will be talking about the role that his faith plays in motivating him towards pursuing justice in society. The details of the evening are as follows:

Date: Wednesday 1 August 2007
Venue: Wesley Theatre, 220 Pitt Street, Sydney
Time: 8.00pm - 9.30pm
Cost: Free of charge
Further Information: 02 9806 6363

Perhaps if people are interested in coming, but have no way of getting into the city, they could let know at perhaps we might be able to work something out. It would be great to see some of you there.
