Dear Friends,

Dear Friends,

As we enter into Holy Week, we encounter the drama of the Easter story – one of oppression, betrayal, torture, sacrifice, the darkness of death, the mystery of the empty tomb, the miracle of Jesus rising from the dead.

Easter is the culmination of the Christian year, a time to reflect deeply on the meaning of the feast. A time to recognise that Jesus’ death on the cross invites us to ally with those who are oppressed and suffering. That by his death and resurrection he is calling us to work together for justice,  to create a new world rising out of the darkness of the old.

We are a think tank committed to building a new world, whether through challenging the injustices created by austerity, calling for nonviolent solutions to conflict, or developing alternative approaches to welfare reform.
