The Diocesan Justice and Peace Commission is delighted to welcome Christine Allen as this year’s speaker for the Anthony Storey Memorial Lecture, “Signs of Hope in a Troubled World”.
Christine has been the director of CAFOD since the spring of 2019. She held leadership positions at two faith-based international development organisations – Christian Aid and Progressio – for the previous 17 years. 
Her career began as a field worker with the Justice and Peace Commission in the Archdiocese of Liverpool in 1987 and as CAFOD’S campaigns coordinator in 1989.
She brings a wealth of energy and experience to her work and plans to use the lecture to explore what it means to be a sign of hope at many levels and where we get our inspiration to be signs of hope.
She will also reference CAFOD’s work, supporters and partners and the wider influence of the Church as a witness to hope.
We have again arranged the lecture on Zoom and are repeating last year’s timing on a weekday evening.
The lecture is on Tuesday June 6 at 7pm. To register, email bhungin@yahoo.co.uk.
