Sarah Williams, recent member of the Moot Community has written a great article on the above title in the Bible in Transmission Spring 2007 edition. Sarah, like Si Johnston, draws on the importance of the church not to become complacent at a time of increased people trafficking in many parts of the world including our own. She talks of 5 contemporary forms of slavery that we need to be aware of - bonded slavery through debt, unconditional child labour, descent (born into) based slavery, forced by state into labour and Human trafficking.

The challenge is for how we in Moot live to minimise these forms of slavery - in fact, our rhythm of life makes a demand on each of us to consider how we live to promote social and economic justice drawing on values of the Kingdom of God. Sarah has spoken at Greenbelt, and you can listen/order her talks from here.

Sarah works as Campaigns Officer for Anti-Slavery International. It is good to have Sarah as part of our community, and hopefully soon we will all benefit from her perspectives.
