Who is my neighbour?

There is deep concern within the churches and society about negative gang-related social disorder and violent crimes and their subsequent effects upon society, especially upon the young. This new publication, Who is my neighbour? – a church response to social disorder linked to gangs, drugs, guns and knives, is a timely and thoughtfully researched piece of work, covering perceptions of the level of gang-related social disorder, identifying its causes, and looking at some initiatives that address these. The role of the Church is highlighted as an agent of change where Jesus’ gospel message is a timeless and constructive alternative to the negative messages that influence gang members.
