True Freedom Lenten Resource

Archbishop Linda Nicholls, Anglican Church of Canada Primate, asks congregations to consider using the True Freedom resource, possibly as a Lenten study, to raise awareness of Human Trafficking and Modern Slavery. 

The World Council of Churches (WCC) invites clergy and parishes to a webinar this Thursday, January 18, at 12 pm MST, introducing the new Lent resource True Freedom, which was developed to support Christians in responding to modern slavery. Click here to register for the webinar.

True Freedom stems from a collaboration between the WCC and The Clewer Initiative. The resulting six-week course draws on themes from the book of Galatians, and includes:

• Bible studies on the book of Galatians
• Reflections by Rev. Dr Kenneth Mtata, WCC Programme Director and Bishop Alastair Redfern, Chair of The Church of England’s Clewer Initiative
• Questions for group discussion or personal reflection
• Stories of hope and case studies from churches in the UK, Italy, Tanzania, Hong Kong, Ghana, Uruguay, Jamaica and the Cayman Islands.
• Prayers
• Artwork to contemplate and discuss
• Background information about modern slavery
• Action points that are appropriate for different contexts
