New podcast episode! 🎧 It was great to join @ccowinfo.bsky.social to talk about our new #ChallengeAmazon campaign 📢 You can listen to the full conversation here: www.ccow.org.uk/resources/ro...

Refugee Week starts today ☀ This year’s theme, Courage, feels especially resonant. Courage in the journeys people have taken to find safety. Courage in rebuilding lives in new places. And courage in communities that choose welcome, solidarity, and understanding.

. 𝐓𝐚𝐥𝐤 𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞! One of the most important #ClimateAction we can all do is talk about climate change in our daily lives – climate conversations play a huge role in creating social change more: climateoutreach.org/connect... 🌎🌍🌏

Are we willing to invest just five cents per person per year to maintain one of the world’s most important climate monitoring systems? That provides crucial information about a potentially existential risk for Europe?

The actions of one person must never be used to stigmatise an entire community. Collective blame only creates further division harm. We stand with Belfast City of Sanctuary in condemning all violence, racism, hatred and attempts to exploit tragic events to spread fear and division.

🍃 The climate crisis is not just an environmental emergency. It's rooted in inequality, unfair trade & broken economic systems. Small-scale producers need fair conditions to be part of the solution. When the system is fair, sustainability follows. #WorldEnvironmentDay

"81. A litmus test for social justice today is the treatment of migrants, refugees and those forced to move due to poverty, violence, climate change and environmental disasters. The way a society treats them reveals whether its sense of justice is driven by fear or by the spirit of fraternity."

i hope you all like my newest poem written in honour of the refugee struggle ❤️‍🩹

#MorningPrayer Lord Jesus, you set your face for Jerusalem; help us to set our faces for the New Jerusalem, for your city and kingdom. Fix our focus on the way in which you call us to follow, the priorities set by your wisdom, the promises you ask us to share, with all the world.

Today on Pentecost, let's remind ourselves of the impact of the Holy Spirit on us Christians. 😁 FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT: Love - A deep, selfless affection for others, even those who may be difficult to love. Joy - A sense of inner happiness and contentment, regardless of circumstances. 1/4

😬UK gas prices just hit highest level since 2022😬 At current prices… * New wind & solar from latest "AR7" auction would cut the bill for UK gas imports by £5.5bn/y * A single (1) home heat pump would cut bill for gas imports by more than £600/y www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-why...

Tiny little victory - but a nice one. When we began working on Fairtrade, people often said "but the coffee is terrible" (at one time, it was). This month Which magazine's two best buy Colombian coffees are Fairtrade - one from CafeDirect, one from M and S. Justice & quality. A great combo

This looks very interesting.

A Lent 🧵1/6 I’ve been slow to write a reflection today. That’s partly a reaction to the world situation. We woke up this morning to a world even more immersed chaos than it was yesterday. It made my plan to spend the 2 week of Lent focusing on the blessing of gospel living seem at best irrelevant.
