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."
Grateful for the opportunity to share a few thoughts about the latest developments in the LLF process, and what it might mean to really pay attention to power in this context.

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.

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.
