Dietrich Bonhoeffer, German pastor executed by the Nazis - a man with truly pertinent things to say to Christian nationalists: 'Christians should take a stronger stand in favour of the weak rather than considering first the possible right of the strong'.

"Beware of any Christian movement that acts as though the world is full of enemies to be destroyed rather than full of neighbors to be loved.
Beware of any Christian movement that demands the government be an instrument of God's wrath, but never a source of God's mercy, generosity, or compassion."

Christian nationalism is an oxymoron – when people promote hate over love, blind aggression over open-hearted dialogue, and the flag over the cross, their agenda is to consciously offer a bleak and distorted message that bears no relationship to the Good News of Jesus Christ. They know that.

That final point is absolutely crucial.
The fact that the BBC has made serious culpable errors does not negate the point that there is a real and concerted right-wing media campaign to destroy it. Both points can be true at the same time and the campaign would not end even if the errors did.

Wearing a poppy is meaningful because it is voluntary. There are many different & shifting views in Ireland about whether and how to engage with commemorations of the world wars, which include many Irish servicemen, given our complex history. We should respect people's choices, not try to impose

A Christianity that causes the hungry to go without food, the sick to go without healthcare, the stranger to be mistreated, and God’s creation to be ravaged, all while the greedy and cruel satisfy their every desire, is a Christianity that can no longer claim to follow Christ.

Blessed are the above median earners for they shall be able to stay, contingently
The Established Church needs to find a voice on this kind of dehumanising depiction of men, women and children who have come to our country, being spilled all over the place to say the only thing that has human value is a salary above £38k and thst any foreigner who ever earns less must get out

Starmer: “Controlling migration is a reasonable goal- but if you throw bricks and smash up private property that is thuggery…if you incite violence that’s criminal…if you graffiti on a Chinese takeaway telling them to go home, that’s not pride that’s racism.”
