“As a Christian responsible investor, theological considerations are essential. A church that ignores our links with a fundamental historic wrong cannot credibly claim moral leadership in the present or the future.”

My latest bit of "light reading" arrived today! I don't expect to finish this any time soon, but no doubt it will be worth the slog.

I know this is hijacking a fun post with a serious point, but: the Feast of the Flight into Egypt is a commemoration of the fact that Jesus and his parents fled to Egypt as refugees, which should be more often remembered, particularly by those who say they want to defend the West’s Christian values.
So: happy... er, yes, well, happy this most holy of days to all who celebrate
