Stopping Stones are micro-monuments marking sites where enslaved people lived and labored. For Black History Month, Mikayla Harden reflects on the power of these quiet memorials, which invite contemplation rather than awe.

Yesterday I went to a fringe meeting previewing some qualitative research from Theos about young people joining the Church of England. Mix of church traditions. But while there are more men than women, they talked about valuing church as a space for faith in Christ and also for sharing emotions⚓️ 1/4

Fill us, Lord Jesus,
with a desire and a determination
faithfully to follow your way,
with hearts, minds and souls
open to the voice of your Spirit
and the wisdom of your leadership.
May your love be
the hallmark of our relationships,
revealing your grace to all.

She really is bright and has so much potential. I just hope that lack of money and support doesn't hold her back. I wish Jim or Oliver or someone else with money could help her out #TheArchers

A friend of ours was able to be a test subject for an mRNA vaccine for an aggressive form of breast cancer. Completely worked. It is one of the greatest miracles of science and like 40% of the country turned it into The Jab because they are mushheaded simpletons.

Help us, Lord Jesus, to be your church
in accordance with your will,
in harmony with your wisdom,
as followers of your guidance,
and as one people in your love.
Inspire us to live your truth
of love for all people,
of justice, of mercy,
of reconciliation and peace.
