'The hallmark of authentic Christianity must always be an intimacy with God which results in involvement with others. At core our faith is about loving God and actively demonstrating his love, justice and generosity to a watching world. Act Justly provides thought-provoking and well presented resources to help local churches and small groups explore creative ways to do just that.' Steve Chalke MBE- Founder Oasis Global and Faithworks

Welcome to Act Justly - resources for churches and small groups that explore how God calls us to live in an unjust world.

The Act Justly resources, and optional accompanying appeal, are full of ideas for tackling poverty and challenging its root causes. What does it mean to follow Micah’s call to ‘act justly, love mercy and walk humbly with your God’ in the 21st Century? The Act Justly resources will help your church respond to the issue of global injustice, providing information, inspiration and a wealth of ideas for action.
