Gil Clelland Gil Clelland is the pastor at Sanctuary London, where people affected by poverty can find a healthy community and a sense of belonging. Gil's previous efforts on the YFC Streetlight bus showed his heart for those living on the street, and the need for us to extend community and dignity to all. Gil's emphasis is on real relationships, and doing the hard work needed to create community. We welcome Gil's insights and perspectives. |

We also shared an update on the recent CCDA conference, which was attended by a number of people in Churches Together London. The Christian Community Development Association has a strong tradition of working toward the reconciliation and empowering of under-resourced neighbourhoods.
