How does a Christian live out an ethic of public service and speak truth to the powers that be within today’s public services?

Many Christians go into education, the health service, local government, the civil service or other public organisations because we feel we have a vocation to serve. How do we do the job when ideologically-driven change and centrally-dictated bureaucracy seem to make things worse? How do we continue whole-heartedly when politicians and the media constantly say that we’re not doing well enough and that the private sector would do better? How can our faith help to transform the ‘powers that be’ in which we serve?

We are pleased to welcome Lesley Misrahi, a member of Wood Green Mennonite Church with 30 years of experience in the NHS, local government and the voluntary sector.

Following an evening meal, Lesley will make a presentation and lead us in a discussion on where the problems lie and how we can maintain a sense of vocation while seeking to save the soul of the system.
