Are there academic studies on an increase in paid working time (across genders) and this being a factor in less capacity for voluntary organisations (like churches)?

It's cold outside and there's a cat on my lap. I don’t want to move but there's an interfaith event I gotta go to.

"Blessed are the peacemakers"
Sitting in a police cell after arrest at a peaceful protest is a lonely experience.
But please know you are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses. You are not alone but in a great community of those who have sought justice and witnessed to a better world.

God bless everyone arrested today at the Senedd and elsewhere. You are building a better world with your actions and opposing the Empire of violence and lies. I will be praying for you over the next few hours as you sit in cells. You are not alone.

I wonder if the bigger difference isn't between humanism and theism per se as between those who do, and do not, think that the holy HAS AGENCY. The bigger difference is whether you believe in a God who can act, speak, listen, love.

Let's stop pretending that the billionaire media, endlessly attacking the BBC, has the slightest interest in balance, impartiality and accuracy. They won't be happy until the BBC is more rightwing than Vlad the Impaler. And then it still won't be enough.

Liberal Quakers tend to frame their internal theological diversity as a jolly potluck: "our diversity is our strength." But at Meeting yesterday I experienced it as a crisis. Whether God exists or not makes a huge difference to our ability to be a community of hope. #Quaker #theology
