Revd Dr Helen Paynter is Director of the Centre for the Study of Bible and Violence. Dr Maria Power is a Fellow of Blackfriars Hall, Senior Research Fellow in Human Dignity at the Las Casas Institute for Social Justice.
'Race, Religion, Rhetoric and far-right extremism – a response' took place at Church House, Westminster, London on Saturday 8 February 2025. It explored how the negative rhetoric and narratives linked to ‘race’ and religion, have fueled far-right related activities over the last decade and a half (especially the riots in August 2024), and threaten the cohesiveness of communities on these shores.
