In this section you will find a Powerpoint presentation of the website feature Struggling with debt, and help for preaching on issues of debt as a downloadable pdf file, as well as prayers for those worried about debt and those facing redundancy.
There is also a downloadable leaflet for parishioners called Stewards in a Slump with notes on how to teach on the leaflet at church, and an A5 leaflet for churches with advice and prayers.
