The Board of Social Responsibility has booked the Phoenix Arts Centre at 6.30pm on 25 March 2007, to show the newly-released feature film, Ghosts. The film is based on the story of the Morecombe Bay cockle pickers and explores the wider issues of slavery and exploitation in Britain.
After the film, there will be a panel discussion on modern day slavery, chaired by Bishop Tim.
More details about the costs and booking for the event will be available from the Diocese of Leicester in February.
St Paul's is a vibrant church in the open-evangelical tradition. It is part of the Church of England and its Parish serves Oadby, east of the A6. It is also part of a larger group of parishes, called a "Benefice," which includes St Peter's Oadby, Great Glen and Burton Overy with Carlton Curlieu. We seek to be a church for all ages, backgrounds, cultures and nationalities, that is growing and following Jesus. We have a congregation of about one hundred at our main Sunday service and are always pleased to welcome enquirers and visitors.
