A Sophiatown and surrounding communities where all people truly belong: where there is healing, opportunity and prosperity; so that resources are used to create a society where none live in poverty.

We are inspired by the life-long service of Fr Huddleston to the recognition of every person's intrinsic and equal value:  we aim to operate with integrity, a focus on service, we value innovation and respect diversity.

The Trevor Huddleston CR Memorial Centre condemns in no uncertain terms the recent invasion of Ukraine by the Putin regime.  We further condemn the misuse and conflation of religious tropes, cultural chauvinism, and militaristic bully tactics employed by this offending regime. We join Pope Francis in appealing “to those with political responsibility to examine their consciences before God,” and “pray that all the parties involved refrain from any action that would cause even more suffering to the people, destabilizing coexistence between nations and bringing international law into disrepute.”

Fr Trevor Huddleston always championed the course justice for those that are offended and violated. As the Trevor Huddleston CR Memorial Centre we join the voices of many South Africans and and organisations and call for:

• Strongest possible sanctions to be put on Putin’s regime,
• The World Council of Churches (WCC) to demand a clear condemnation of Putin’s aggression by the Russian Orthodox Church, and
• For BRICS, all economic blocs in Africa, the South Africa government to stop their indecisive fence sitting on this matter and defend the national integrity of Ukraine and condemn any acts that threaten it and violates human rights.

This is a moment of truth, and we choose the side truth, justice, and peace.
