Today we remember the 1995 #Srebrenica genocide, where over 8000 people were killed in Bosnia because of their ethnic and religious identity. We need to commit afresh to challenging racial and religious prejudice. We're all part of God’s one humanity; we belong to each other.

It's Earth Day 2025. We have only one "single island planet home", as Pope Francis called it. He said we need an "ecological conversion". We must steward earth's resources equitably, and care for land, people & nature. This is not an optional extra, but an imperative for the mission of God's Church.

The Prime Minister rightly said that the urgent need to increase defence spending is a ‘generational challenge’. It requires a generational response. Raiding the aid budget does not meet that standard. My letter to @thetimes.com today
