the connexion magazine
the connexion is a free magazine about the life and work of the Methodist Church, bringing together inspirational stories from Methodist people who are passionate about sharing God’s love to change lives.
Full of hope, issue 20 of the connexion also explores difficult topics.
Be challenged reading of African women’s suffering; of ill health; of racism; of deprivation in poor councils. But let hope grow as you read of those women keeping African communities alive; how wounded pilgrims find strength; where Christians resist racism; how bright stars shine across the UK’s margins.
