Speakers include Graham Gordon , Head of Public Policy at CAFOD, on climate at the crossroads; and Cllr Chris Burke , City of Lincoln Council, on faith in the community. And we’ll get stuck in to exciting new plans for justice and peace in the diocese, to:  help Catholics grow in living the gospel  make a difference together in society  confront poverty in our cities, towns and villages  welcome refugees and asylum seekers  tackle modern slavery. Come and j oin friends from churches across the diocese for t he Nottingham Diocesan Justice and Peace Commission Annual Assembly and AGM 2018 : a day of inspiration, challenge and networking, with Mass celebrated by Bishop Patrick. It’s free of charge, but book your place early.
