This puts huge pressure on our communities and it is not surprising that sometimes they erupt in violence. We need God’s help to know how to live in harmony. Peace on our streets is our prayer. I welcome this initiative Redeeming Our Communities for it mobilises people of faith to pray and work for safer cities. It’s a partnership of people and the police working together for the good of the whole community.” -The Rt Revd James Jones Bishop of Liverpool                                    Liverpool ROC Area Co-ordinators              Wirral Liverpool Martin Hulme Peter Owens Please let us know if you want to introduce Redeeming Our Communities to your particular area in Liverpool.  You can apply to be an Area Co-ordinator here.
