Who are we - and what do we do?

We:

  • Promote awareness, discussion  and action throughout the Leeds diocese about the ‘Just’ Gospel response to the key issues of today such as Climate Change, racism, poverty and conflict
  • Advise the bishop of Leeds in respect of key Social Justice issues
  • Celebrate the work  that so many people in the diocese are already doing by linking their faith with action for social justice

NJPN logoWe are an integral part of the Diocese of Leeds and also a member of the National Justice and Peace Network.

****    APOLOGIES!    ****

Due to a mistake on our part, some parishes are advertising a mini-pilgrimage to Kirkstall abbey on 20 October. However, this event actually took place on 20 September (and it rained the whole time!).
