Modern social evils

The latest FaithAction e-newsletter has information about an interesting consultation on modern social evils.

NewStart magazine reports that an investigation into modern social evils has been launched by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation more than 100 years after its founder first began to explore early 20th century ills. The investigation will incorporate the views of schoolchildren, congregations in various places of worship and ex-offenders to see how much has changed since philanthropist and social reformer Joseph Rowntree first attempted to address issues such as poverty, drugs, drinking and gambling.
