There is an almost universal consensus across the Christian and secular imagination regarding the poverty predicament in which humanity is placed. That way of configuring the predicament justifies, if not determines, the way most educated people in the West set about ‘doing good.’
However, is this approach to the issue is wrong? Is the conventional way of ‘doing good’ is based on a false premise?
Please join us for this topical and timely lecture as the Revd Dr Sam Wells suggests an alternative description of what constitutes the human predicament – which will lead to an alternative notion of the good to be sought and the methods of seeking it.
Discussion chaired by Laura Taylor, Head of Advocacy, Christian Aid
