During Black History Month in October, Methodist churches are invited to show the film After the Flood: the Church, Slavery and Reparations and begin a conversation about responding to the lasting damage caused by the transatlantic traffic in enslaved Africans.
“While this topic is not an easy one, it is vital that we engage with it. This material should help to resource our conversations, our reflections and our commitment to action.” – The Revd Helen Cameron, President of the Methodist Conference.
Register to watch the film. This can only be done in a Methodist Church context.
Individuals are invited to donate, and churches are invited to hold collections – see https://www.christianaid.org.uk/appeals/emergencies/gaza-appeal
Posters can be downloaded, and appeal envelopes ordered.

In collaboration with the Methodist Church, All We Can have produced a resource to help churches explore and embody the 5 Practices of Justice from the Justice-Seeking Church report. This is not to encourage churches to start lots of new initiatives, but to help congregations ‘move the dial’ towards better ways of doing justice in what they are already doing. The sessions feature games, prayer activities, videos, and practical suggestions around the areas of Being With Not For, Humility in Community, Self-Awareness and the Use of Power, Transformation, and Prayer.
All We Can have produced downloadable Harvest Resources.
