EDGES MAGAZINE Issue 20

January 2000

EDITORIAL COMMENT

If you see a man with a mobile phone that never stops ringing, a laptop computer with a dustbin of email sitting next to you on a train, look out, it might be me.

I'm a priest of the 90's, walking to the dawn of a new millenium, staring at the challenges of this new beginning. With each edition of Edges we always spend time in London. In this edition we listen to Steven; he has lived on the streets since the age of fifteen. His mother died when he was fourteen and then his father threw him out. Over the last six years he has learned to survive and struggle for his dignity. He spends his day begging and attending soup kitchens. He presents the Blair administration with a problem. He's socially excluded and needs to be included, yet there are still many doors closed.

In our several projects back in Lancashire we are helping people escape from drugs and social exclusion.

Please continue to support us.
