There is an upcoming Living Well conference taking place in Leeds on 30th September, jointly hosted by the Anglican Minority Ethnic Network and USPG.
It will consider what 'Living Well' looks like for Christians; how to live well within oneself (focusing on well-being and addressing internalised racism), how to live well within the Church, and how to live well within our communities and wider society. As we navigate these questions, we will see how drawing from Jesus, the living well, is the key.
This conference will draw upon the Church of England's Living Ministry's report from the study exploring the well-being experiences of Global Majority Heritage (GMH) clergy led by Selina Stone.
The speakers for the event are:
- Rev'd Dr Evie Vernon, a Jamaican Educator who has worked in the Caribbean and the UK, presently an Honorary Assistant Curate, St Mildred’s Croydon, Trustee of Inclusive Church, and Former Theological Advisor to USPG.
- Canon Sanjee Perera - Cognitive Psychologist and Ecclesiologist, Associate at Virginia Theological Seminary, and formerly Archbishops' Advisor on Minority Ethnic Affairs, Church of England.
- Rev'd Canon Dr Peniel Rajkumar, Theologian and Director of Global Mission at USPG.
Joining this joint AMEN and USPG event will also be Bishop of Kirkstall, Arun Arora and Bishop of Huddersfield, Smitha Prasadam.
Tickets cost £10 and include lunch.
