I feel so incredibly sad and lament deeply the fact that the church I serve continues to hurt and harm my siblings in Christ

This is a heart wrenching, beautiful, Jesus centred sermon that is well worth listening to

Andrew DeCort: Church at the Crossroads felt like a return to the first 300 years of Jesus’ movement in which nonviolence was the consensus for how to live in the world. Every speaker affirmed an explicit, emphatic commitment to nonviolence.

"There are thousands of clergy currently forced to act against their conscience, myself among them. We act against our conscience every time we explain that we can’t marry a same-sex couple who wish to celebrate their love and commitment in the presence of God."

Horrified to hear of Layan Nasir's detention for right months in an Israeli detention centre. Layan is a Palestinian Christian, and fellow Anglican. Praying for her swift release and safe return to her family.

We welcome the news Israel & Hamas have agreed to a ceasefire in Gaza. It offers the people in Gaza respite from the relentless bombardment, displacement & deprivation.

This is good news for the hostages while also recognising the massive scale of aid that is now needed in Gaza.

I could weep. The chainsawed stems are what remains of a beautiful compact bay tree. We knew the far tree (also gone) needed cutting back because squirrels were getting into the roof space using it. But the nearest tree wasn't a problem at all. And the leaves were wonderful for cooking.

Palestine is not a metaphor. And yet – I’ve superimposed every experience of my own mothering these last months on to Palestine

“I had to break the news to my wife. She hasn’t been able to stop crying since she heard the news. What is the value of this life if you have to be separated from the people you love? Both of us are completely shattered by this.”

This heartbreak a thousand times, for what?

As the very last campsite tents come down, what’s left behind is more than clean fields – it’s the love and respect you show for our festival home. Thank you, Greenbelters, for caring for this place – and one another – so beautifully. 🌱 #LeaveNoTrace

So moving to hear the Archbishop of Jerusalem address the General Synod of the Church of England today.In the midst of increasing violence and intimidation from extremist settler groups in Jerusalem and the West Bank he is a hugely respected faith leader, and determined bridge builder. Pray for him!

“But where a church is wounded and constrained we need the wider body of Christ to help us to be the church in brutal and damaging times.” Archbishop Hosam. Perhaps now the @churchofengland.org will respond to Kairos Palestine Declaration (2009), Cry for Hope (2020), and Call for Repentance (2023).
