Middlesbrough J&P write:
We are delighted to welcome Ian Linden as this year’s speaker for the Anthony Storey Memorial Peace and Justice Lecture.
Professor Ian Linden is Visiting Professor at St Mary’s University, Strawberry Hill, London. A past director of the Catholic Institute for International Relations, he was awarded a CMG for his work for human rights in 2000. He has also been an adviser on Europe and Justice and Peace issues to the Department of International Affairs of the Catholic Bishops Conference of England and Wales. Ian chairs a new charity in Beirut for Syrian refugees and Lebanese kids in danger of dropping out partnering with CARITAS Lebanon. His latest book was Global Catholicism published by Hurst in 2009.
Ian welcomes the opportunity to reclaim ‘The Option for the Poor’ which he feels is neglected, rarely mentioned and often misunderstood.
