Justice and Young People

20. Education: A Matter of Life and Death by Dave Mann

Questions for You:

  1. Reflect on the mercy you have been shown. How might this shape your understanding of justice for others?
  2. The conversation suggests we use “prophetic imagination” to explore necessary changes to unjust structures. Take time to imagine this at a national or local level. What would a redeemed housing, justice, youth provision look like and how could policy changes help achieve this?
  3. Stephen suggests more Christians with lived experience should enter local or national politics. Have you considered this? Where would you begin?
  4. Have you considered ways to network a local project with a broader campaign? One suggestion was through Citizens UK, are there other groups that could strengthen your impact? Have you thought about this?
  5. Tim spoke about the resilience needed to live in the “not yet” where injustice persists. How can you stay motivated? Which spiritual practices may help?
