I’m conflicted by #Kirk & responses to his death. I’d never heard of him, but am horrified by his death. I identify which much of his traditional Christian viewpoint but struggle as a #Christian with his #MAGA rhetoric. Many of my Christian friends seem in awe of him: what have I missed? 👇🏻 1/2

Today was every nation Sunday @ #Rugby #Elim with members of congregation from c. 35 nations - a reflection of Revelation 7:9.
We celebrated the #diversity of our backgrounds and rejoiced in our #unity in #Jesus.
Such a contrast to #racist and #fascist attitudes sadly prevalent in #UK.

Thought for the Day by @krishk.com was spot on - #Jenrick frequently expresses #xenophobic sentiments to further his own political ends. Perfect #love casts out fear!
'Honest Bob' Jenrick, a politician obviously & deliberately embracing xenophobia, does some weapons grade xenophobia & the BBC *apologises* for a Thought For The Day contributor calling it xenophobic. Licence fee payers need to know who makes these decisions & why. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
BBC apologises after Robert Jenrick accused of xenophobia
A contributor to Radio 4's Thought for the Day slot made the remark about the shadow justice secretary.

Just came across this press pic of me from 1989 on the web!
A press cutting reads:
“Norfolk Rector who promised his own life to God at a #BillyGraham meeting is running the satellite Livelink beaming the evangelist’s message from Earl’s Court to Dereham.”

My sponsored #Swim15 for @bowelcanceruk.bsky.social - My minimum target was 15 lengths 15 times which is just over 5.5km. So I have passed that at just over 6km, but I also said I hoped to do 7km - my final 1km will be on 1 July!
