"This collection of essays explores how faith can inspire, guide,
and sustain our response to modern slavery. It also helps us see
those who are affected by modern slavery as people who are loved by
God and have a unique dignity. I would encourage any person of
faith who wants to think more about how their congregation can work
towards slavery-free communities to read this book.”
*Caroline Virgo, Director, The Clewer Initiative (The Church of
England’s response to modern slavery)*
“This fine collection of essays is a timely response from
practitioners and theologians to the disturbing phenomenon of
modern slavery…Dan Pratt and his team of writers have provided a
remarkable resource which should inform and shape our engagement
with one of our age’s most awful abuses”
*Robert Ellis, Regents Park College, UK*
"This collection of thoughtful and informative contributions
powerfully make the case for the role of faith communities in our
work to eradicate slavery and trafficking. It anchors this work in
holy text, provides inspiring examples of what can be done and
listens with compassion to the voices of survivors. This book will
move you to action and prayer for those who are oppressed by the
greatest human rights abuse of our time."
*Dame Sarah Thornton, Independent Anti-Slavery Commissioner, UK*
