Churches to express solidarity with the homeless
Homeless Sunday to be held 24 January
by Tara Craig and Ian Kirk-Smith
22nd January 2016
Homeless Sunday 2016 will take place on 24 January.
Organised by the charities Housing Justice and Scottish Churches Housing Action, the day is about ‘showing our concern for individuals affected by homelessness, challenging the conditions that create it, and celebrating work that tackles the problem’.
Churches will mark the day with a range of activities, such as profile-raising events and services that link with local housing and homelessness projects, building bridges into the local community. Congregations are encouraged to include the homeless in their prayers.
Homeless Sunday 2016 is sponsored by the Quaker Housing Trust, Triodos Bank and London Church Leaders, a London churches group for social action.
