The Justice Conference 2022 is just over a week away: Saturday 3 September, and it almost looks like a Baptist NZ event with so many Baptists in the line-up! 

Justice Conferences bring together thousands of Christ-followers to live out the message of Jesus and transform their communities by making justice a way of life. 
The Justice Conference was born out of a simple idea and a compelling paradox u2014 that true life is found when we give our lives away on behalf of others. What if Christians truly lived out the message of Jesus and renewed their communities through our love and practice of authentic justice?
