Faith is often seen as a personal comfort, and private relationship with God. But the Church today is deeply involved in practical actions to alleviate poverty and advocate for the powerless. For example, food banks, which were used by around a million people last year, mostly have a Christian foundation, Christian management, and work in partnership with local churches. It is a pleasure to be joined by Sarah Chapman, the founder of the Wandsworth Foodbank in London, and author of the recent report on food poverty in London. We’ve come to talk about the importance of faith amid poverty.
