If you are in or near the Manchester area you are warmly invited to the next MJR Manchester meeting on Tuesday May 3rd, 11-1pm at the Nazarene Theological College, Dene Road, Didsbury M20 2GU. Lunch will be provided. This will be a chance to catch up on what MJR has been doing nationally and locally, one year on from the founding of our Study Centre at the College. and also to find out more about two events being planned for Manchester later this year.
- On Friday evening daytime Saturday June 24-25 we will be running a ‘Legacy of Slavery’ course. This will be based on the 5-part evening course run as part of Manchester Bible School last autumn, but based at a local church in Moss Side, Manchester
- The ‘Legacy Day’ conference on Saturday October 29, during Black History Month, we hope will be a significant event in increasing recognition of the legacy of colonial slavery still affecting today’s society. Speakers will be Robert Beckford and James Walvin, and there will be a Q&A session with a panel, chaired by Mike Shaft. Venue to be finalised, but for now please note the date.
For further information and to book lunch on May 3rd, please email Paul Keeble.
