"Sounding the Trumpet:
Educating for Jubilee"

CEJI Year 1 Leadership Guide

Sounding the Trumpet: Educating for Jubilee is designed to help people at the parish and congregational level to provide Jubilee leadership and to animate the debt campaign. This accessible and engaging 28 page book focuses on the Initiative's biblically grounded vision of Jubilee and the call to cancel the unpayable debts of the world's poorest nations, a call which emerges from our first theme, Release from Bondage. We offer for your use a broad range of introductory materials on both topics, a bible study, workshops and activities to appeal to people of all ages, an ecumenical New Year's Eve service, and a substantial list of resources for further study. See below for detailed contents and selected excerpts.
