Description
"Cause us trouble Keith, but not too much trouble," these were final words of advice from a bishop to a new curate the day before his ordination. This book is the result of much reflection on that advice. Keith Hebden, parish priest and spiritual activist brings action and theory together with ideas that are as practical, accessible and exciting as the activism they underwrite. Beginning with the conviction that Jesus was an activist who was deeply committed to community, this book seeks to explore ways in which each of us can challenge the unjust structures that keep us from realising our full and common humanity. Seeking Justice is a timely reminder of our need to face up to our personal ability to change the world we live in and the urgency of the task ahead.

Reviews
"I have known Keith Hebden for quite a few years. We live on opposite sides of the planet, so we don't get to talk much, but every time we get together we share notes about our journey towards a wholehearted love that seeks hard after justice. In Seeking Justice Keith gets to share his journey in the depth and the detail that we could never have in a single conversation. In Seeking Justice Keith helps us see the world through the eyes of a radical compassion that embraces beauty, rebels against brutality and commits itself resolutely to work slowly but surely to create a better future, In Seeking Justice Keith shares the way to engage in change with great care, so we can envisage what it would mean for us to do likewise".
