Oxfam donation

The 'Run with the Fire' project has recently been able to donate £229.89 to Oxfam.

For more than 60 years Oxfam has been turning donations such as ours into positive action which is transforming the lives of some of the world's poorest people.

Together Oxfam and their supporters have helped farming families to get more from their land, given children the chance to go to school, and ensured that opportunities are open to everyone - even the most vulnerable - in communities around the world. They've also campaigned for changes in policies, both locally and internationally, which will ensure that poor people's efforts are properly rewarded.

“‘Nudum Christum, nudus sequere’ – naked we follow the naked Christ. A cry from the Middle Ages proclaiming that to follow Christ we, like Christ, must leave behind us everything which might stand between ourselves and God. We shall have no concern for wealth, for riches or for influence but freely embrace poverty and simplicity. Many historic writers developed the themes of naked poverty and renunciation in their theologies while others like St Francis looked on the poverty of the naked and crucified Christ in a more literal way, standing before the Bishop and people of Assisi as the young Francis turned his life from the world, and laying naked on the bare earth when dying and awaiting the final journey to God. ‘Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return there’. (Job 1:21)”
