Bishop Philip North speech to General Synod, February 2024, on Estates Evangelism

Описание: The Bishop of Blackburn, Rt Rev. Philip North, spoke movingly and passionately today about the importance of prioritising people who live on the margins of society.
In a wide-ranging and often hard-hitting speech to members of General Synod in London (the Church of England’s ‘parliament’) the Bishop called on the church to make sacrifices, have courage and embrace the need to support those living on estates and income deprived communities across England.
This video is taken from the General Synod livestream.
Bishop Philip was speaking to a paper and motion from the Estates Evangelism Task Group (EETG) of which he is a member and also former Chair.
A lengthy debate followed with many excellent contributions from around the country, before the motion (with amendments) was successfully passed - unanimously - by 364 to 0 and with no absentions.
