Sadiq Khan meets London church leaders

Sadiq Khan held the meeting in Lambeth after visiting a farm project run by the Oasis Trust.

Oasis City Farm was derelict wasteland until the church transformed it into a farm that does community projects, outreach with young people, community meals and a food bank.

The MP met with some of the young people working on the site before his discussion with London's Christian leaders.

He told Premier: "It's been inspirational seeing the work taking place here at Oasis Farm.

"The local church, the Oasis Church, is actually being a community hub, getting young people and volunteers involved.

"They're working with businesses to improve this piece of land, it was a derelict horrible piece of land."

He added: "There's a word that's used called outreach - people of faith not simply staying in their congregation or prayers but actually going into the community to do social action.

"Just look at the foodbanks Oasis provides, think about the schools their involved in and the community work they do."

Sadiq Khan speaking to Premier's Antony Bushfield:

A Monthly Gift Of $11 Makes A World Of Difference

In a world of fake news there’s never been a greater need for quality Christian journalism. Premier’s mission is to provide the Church with the most up to date and relevant news, told from a Christian perspective. But we can’t do it without you.

Unlike many websites we haven't put up a paywall — we want to keep our journalism free at the point of need and as open as we can. Premier’s news output takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. No one in the USA is sharing news like we are across radio, magazines and online so please help us to continue that today.

For a monthly gift of $11 or more we’d also be able to send you a free copy of the brand new Premier Bible, a wonderful Anglicised version of the NLT packed with exclusive bonus content, reading plan and resources to help you get the most out of scripture.

Your monthly support will make a world of difference. Thank you.
