Today @churchofengland.org commemorates the life of #CharlesSimeon I wonder what he would make of my two Parishes in @dioceseofliverpool.bsky.social I'm sure as a founder of CMS he be excited by the cultural mix and opportunities for sharing the good news with people from many nations. 🙏🏼

@sainsburys.bsky.social not impressed with your attempt to deliver our food (saying nobody was in when my wife WFH and then not being willing to try to redeliver. Wanted to try you as you offer more @fairtradeat.bsky.social products than @tesco do we need to try @ocadogroup.bsky.social

This is a terrible statistic that should shame our nation we showed in COVID that everyone can be housed but will we together demand that a change must come as part of what a @labour government does in it's time in office, working with partners including @churchofengland in this moral priority 🙏🏾

Also China is growing in use of renewables as is Global South it's US & EU/UK that need to get better. #NoplanetB

Today in Toxteth and Wavertree we will be praying for Peace. And then will be leaving Church to live out the "Shalom, Salaam, Peace" message of Jesus the Prince of Peace

A thought from St John Chrysostom (4th Century saint often sent away for challenging the church) "For Christians above all men are forbidden to correct the stumblings of sinners by force" Seems appropriate for our day somehow 🙏🏾🕊️🕊️🙏🏾

@chrleft.bsky.social really hoping we can step up and speak both for our refugee and asylum seeking siblings, and to urge the PM and others to offer a counter narrative which acknowledges the journey and the contribution those seeking asylum have made to our nation (Lev 19:33-34, Mat 25:35)

As the very last campsite tents come down, what’s left behind is more than clean fields – it’s the love and respect you show for our festival home. Thank you, Greenbelters, for caring for this place – and one another – so beautifully. 🌱 #LeaveNoTrace

If you're looking for an easy-to-read and thoughtful book for summer, I’ve just finished Kate Bottley’s, ‘Have a Little Faith: Life Lessons on Love, Death, and How Lasagne Always Helps.’ Although it’s written by a priest, the book is really about people's experiences with faith in general, 1/

'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...

So important that we hear about the stories of courage and compassion in contrast to the narratives of fear and selfishness
