Cathedral Theological Conversations
Thursday 19th June 2025, 7pm Theology and Immigration
As part of refugee week 2025, Ros Holland, Chief Executive of Boaz Trust, will be talking about immigration, theology and the work of Boaz.
The Boaz Trust was founded by Dave Smith in 2004, as an outworking of his Christian faith. The aim was to address the needs of the growing numbers of people facing destitution in Greater Manchester whose asylum cases had been refused and who had nowhere to turn for help.
The vision of Boaz Trust is that people who seek safety in the UK are welcomed here and are free to live life in all its fullness.

Chutzpah reflections on faith, sexuality and daring to stay with Yehudis Fletcher
A writer, activist, scholar and change-maker, Yehudis holds a social policy degree and is completing a Masters in Religion and Theology at Manchester University. She is the founder of the think tank Nahamu, which campaigns for the right to assert civil liberties within orthodox Jewish communities and works to outlaw practices such as forced marriage and the covering up of sexual abuse.
Yehudis's activism has earned her audiences both within and outside Jewish communities, extending to allies in wider circles of activism in the South Asian, Black and LGBTQ communities, as well as in education, legal and media spaces
