Matching the presidential theme God’s Table: An Invitation for All, the stories in issue 24 show how the Methodist Church puts God’s welcome into practice.

The Revd Jonathan R Hustler says times may change, but using magazines to proclaim God’s love dates back to John Wesley. This magazine’s focus, God for All, resonates from Bala Gnanapragasam’s article on the Church’s foundational ‘Strategy for Justice, Dignity and Solidarity’ to the Revd Verity Phillips’ call for the needs of disabled people to be the responsibility of us all. Moving forward in making ‘God’s invitation for all’ a reality, the Revd Charity Nzegwu stresses that women, and people of every creed and colour must have justice. Barry Sloan describes how refugees in Greece receive God’s kindness through the basic provision of blankets; and Matt Finch, Eunice Attwood, Laura Wood and Lemia Nkwelah share how Methodists across the Connexion offer God’s love to people living on the margins: from poverty-stricken families to older people, children, and the lonely and lost.
