Duncan Williams : Christians and Finance

CHRISTIANS AND FINANCE: A new force for good?






"The successful multi-dimensional media project needs financial profitability, as well as a beneficial message, as a key ingredient... To invest means to increase outlay, to have faith and to encourage expansion and return. In monetary terms this ought to be investing money for good willed purposes so as to reap further dividends of the same. Money and goodwill need not, and must not be alien. The alignment of the two is the right use of financial expertise. Money is, after all, only a proxy for actual goods or services, and it can be an active and very potent energy for good works."

Duncan Williams - Christian Media Investor and member of Christians in Finance
Speaking at UPLOAD : Standing Together - Christians in Journalism and theMediaNet.org held at All Souls Church, Langham Place, London, February 19th, 2011.

London Calling - The Son reaches the capital!


"Join us in beating a path for tabloid reform," says Duncan Williams


The Son has been successfully distributed throughout one of London's major boroughs during the winter period.

Warmly received by all Christian churches in the local community following a brief presentation of the visionary tabloid title at Holy Trinity Brompton's acclaimed Alpha Course, demand to stock the paper at neighbouring churches quickly grew in momentum.

"It really has been great to see this positive news redtop so well received by our community," says local churchgoer and Christian media campaigner, Duncan Williams. "Particularly in the wake of the demand for ethical reform engulfing the popular press in the UK, I feel that The Son really is beating a path for a change for the better."

In addition to copies going out in Catholic, C of E and Methodist Churches all across the Royal Borough, Christian outreach services, such as The Trust and the Salvation Army, have also reported favourable responses to the good news tabloid.

"It's a welcome breath of fresh air," says retired Corporal Roy Turner of the World's End Estate's Salvation Army group. "I think people are getting very tired of negative stories and need a little bit of uplifting news."

Patients at the nearby Chelsea and Westminster Hospital also appeared to agree. When copies of The Son were distributed throughout the wards by the Chaplaincy team over the Christmas period, the general was hugely favourable. One nurse even saying to the team; "Thank you to The Son this is a real tonic for people who are unable to celebrate their Christmas at home and need a little bit of uplifting news."

The Son - We Love Him!
