You don’t need me to tell you that money is tight and family budgets are under immense pressure at the
minute – nor that money worries are one of the main causes of stress,
depression and relationship breakdowns - we can see it all around us in our
friends, our relatives and our work colleagues.
In previous generations Christians
have taken a leading role in tackling these issues – and earlier this year,
in partnership with Christians Against Poverty (CAP), we picked up the baton here
in Leyland.
