Reflecting on death and mortality may not sound like an obvious starting point to inspire social justice. Yet, Simon Cuff suggests that mortality and limitation can, in fact, serve as the grounds for creativity for those seeking justice. 

Join us as Simon Cuff explores a theology of mortality and how a recognition of ultimate human limitation can fuel those working for justice that enables the flourishing of all. 

Fr Simon Cuff is Rector of St Mary-le-Bow on Cheapside, Vice-Chair of the Just Money movement and Trustee of Migrants Organise. He is the author or editor of a number of books exploring a variety of theological themes, most recently Waiting on the Lord: Reflections For A Priestly Life for those exploring and preparing for vocations to priesthood.
