DIOECE OF WESTMINSTER JUSTICE & PEACE COMMISSION
The Westminster Justice and Peace Commission’s overall aim is for Justice and Peace activity to be part of the core of the Church’s work throughout the Westminster diocese, and to be perceived to be so by Catholic and non-Catholic alike. The Commission identifies and raises awareness of injustice and its root causes, including recognition of structural injustice.
THE HERTFORDSHIRE JUSTICE & PEACE NETWORK
The Hertfordshire Justice and Peace Network is part of the Diocese’s Justice & Peace Commission, which supports the laity, religious, priests and bishops of the diocese in developing awareness of, and ensuring engagement with and commitment to, Justice and Peace as an integral part of the life of the Church, and its living out of Gospel Kingdom values.
The Hertfordshire Commission organises an annual conference of J&P Network Groups and is a source of information on current Justice and Peace issues.

CAFOD works with more than 500 partners overseas, and in the UK – all working to reduce poverty. Inspired by Scripture and Catholic Social Teaching, and the experiences and hopes of people living in poverty, CAFOD works for a safe, sustainable and peaceful world.

CHURCHES TOGETHER IN POTTERS BAR
There are many different Christian churches and denominations in Potters Bar, but all have the same basic calling – to worship God, to share the good news about Jesus Christ and to work for the good of all people.
But being Churches Together means more than that. It means commitment by each church and denomination to deepen its fellowship with the others and, without losing what makes each interestingly different, to work with them towards a greater visible unity.
All the churches in Potters Bar meet regularly and the church ministers also meet monthly.
