'enditnow' Campaign in Carlisle

Craig Baxter

From the 20th March till end of May, Carlisle church is running a campaign for ‘enditnow – Adventists Say No To Violence Against Women’ in the town centre of Carlisle, Cumbria. Youth from Stockport church accompanied by Pastor Geoff Smith sang in the town centre with a portable amplifier whilst others collected signatures for ‘enditnow’ from the public. It is hoped that 1 million signatures, throughout England, will be obtained and handed to the United Nations by the end of May. Whilst some people are in a rush and have not time to sign, others stop and appreciate the effort that Adventists in Carlisle are willing to make. Many conversations are started about all kinds of abuse and some people are given light counselling with the approach of not re-living but forgiving others, and cutting off the past by walking into a new abuse free future.
