I hope this is the sort of church we are as @onfiremission.bsky.social. We don't always get it right, but this is how we long to be: a reflection of God's boundless love. #OFMonsite2025 #PilgrimPeople
Gemma Simmonds speaks of the importance of saying "come as you are, whoever you are, there is a place for you in God's family" - something the church has not always been good at. #OFMonsite2025 #PilgrimPeople

This is bad.
🚨 Outrage as 20 police officers break into Westminster Quaker Meeting House and arrest six. 🚨
This shocking violation of a place of worship is a direct result of crackdowns on protest and dissent - freedom of speech, assembly and democracy are at risk.🕊️

A hassock to remember St John's by. I kneel a lot more these days. Grateful for their care and interest in my journey towards ordination

As placements come to a close, some wonderful memories.
High praise from a community volunteer: "She's alright. She can come again" then she gave me a bracelet she had hand made for me ❤️ I will treasure their authentic passion for life.

" When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am your God" – Leviticus 19:33-34.
Why (almost) everything I learnt on social media about the Buffelsfontein mine tragedy (including that the starving miners were not fully human) turned out to be wrong tinyurl.com/29urrdjv

"A request made through ChatGPT, an AI-based virtual assistant, consumes 10 times the electricity of a Google Search"

This isn't a game. This is accelerated destruction via huge usage of power, water, resources etc. Stop using it - especially for messing about!!

AI has an environmental problem. Here’s what the world can do about that.
The sprawling data centres that house AI servers churn out toxic electronic waste and are voracious consumers of electricity, which in most places is still produced from fossil fuels.

We have treasure
We are jars of clay
Broken in places

The Holy Spirit
Binds together
Shines through

light seen
On the outside

We don't see
We cannot see
But God sees
