No second state visit for Trump
Unbelievable. Keir Starmer has handed Donald Trump a letter from King Charles, inviting him for a second state visit to the UK. It’s totally unprecedented, and should not go ahead.

#MonthofMinistry Day 22 - WISDOM
In Buddhism, wisdom doesn't just mean having a lot of knowledge or understanding. It's about an insight or about the true nature of reality, the realisation that all things are deeply interconnected - "emptiness".

#MonthofMinistry Days 17-18 LIGHT & DARKNESS
I’m troubled by the identification of “light” with what is good, and “darkness” with wickedness and death. Don’t we need both dark and light? Is it time to begin reclaiming darkness?

We are foundering in a stormy sea of competing demands to address the challenges of cultural collapse, rising fascism, genocidal greed, our very planet burning around us? Setting clear intentions is a guide on the way.

#MonthOfMinistry Day 11 SURRENDER
A difficult word: how can we give up the struggle when the forces of greed, hatred, fascism (not a term I use lightly, but which seems accurate) are hell-bent on destroying all we've created to care for one another and our planet?

A couple came to me for a wedding ceremony recently, and I asked the what vows or promises they wanted to make to each other. “No vows!” they said, and I was momentarily at a loss.

#MonthOfMinistry Day 2: SERVICE
To tell the truth, I'm rather wary of the word "service". It has too many connotations of unequal relationship, situations where work isn't offered freely (military service, domestic service, ...).
