From time to time we hold a Big Gathering and invite you to join us for a conversation about the Strategy for Justice, Dignity and Solidarity (our EDI work) and how it is, or is not, going in your context.

Your local knowledge and insights will be very much appreciated.

We will post the next date here, in the meanwhile if you have ideas to share please contact equality&diversity@methodistchurch.org.uk
