Wealth and Poverty learning days
- Are we living in a material world?
- Do those who believe in the spiritual have any answers to the moral problems that wealth and poverty bring?
At the Wealth and Poverty Learning Day in Manchester you will have the opportunity to find out the beliefs of Christians, Jews and Muslims and discuss the following questions:
- Is it wrong to be rich when so many people are poor?
- Is there too much poverty for us to be able to do anything about it?

In order to keep rain water out, there will be major work to the roof.
There will be some scaffolding on the inside and outside of the building and during the week there will be noise interruption as work is carried out to the roof by our building team.
