Playback speed
Andy talks with Richard Eason who after an early career in IT and technology became involved ‘social action’ including setting up YMCA Ashford, Kent, being chair of Ashford Together, the social action charity of Churches Together in Ashford, and serving as part of the leadership of Pneuma Church, Ashford.
They discuss whether social action means missing out on sharing ‘the Gospel’? They also discuss a leadership conference in the United States, where the host church has engaged in some pioneering work in seeing transformation in its community. How should we see our work in the community?
