Our approach is non-violent resistance. Even when they cut down trees, damage our water tanks, & threaten us with guns, we refuse to be victims or to hate; we refuse to be enemies. One day justice will prevail ~ Daoud Nassar #TimeToAct #Palestine www.churchtimes.co.uk/articles/202...

We have seen major weather extremes over the past year, from flooding to wildfires. In other parts of the world, these extremes are only going to get worse. In our recent El Niño series, Robert Varley has written about what we can expect from El Niño. allwecan.org.uk/post/the-el-niño-series
Text that reads: ‘Our planet is heating, and we are all experiencing its impacts. Here in the UK, we have experienced an exceptionally wet winter with widespread flooding, followed by one of the warmest springs ever recorded. And now much of the country is brown and parched after an extraordinary summer of heat, drought, and wildfires.’

'Saviour God,
You are with us through all of life's challenges and help to still the storms.
On World Humanitarian Day, we bring before you all those affected by disaster:
the devastation of earthquakes,
the overwhelm of floods,
the desolation of droughts,
and communities torn apart by violence.
We pray for humanitarian workers who run towards danger to bring aid, shelter, and hope, and for local organisations that work to prepare communities and reduce the impact of future disasters. 
Sustain them in their service, protect them in times of risk, and fill them with courage and hope to continue.
In your mercy, hear us and deliver us. 
Amen.'

Give him wisdom to discern what is right, courage to follow your ways, and strength to serve with integrity.
May he lead with a deep concern and love for all people, especially the most vulnerable.
We ask that you will be with him and all
those entrusted with leadership at this time.

'What you need to know about refugees this refugee week'Text that reads:

WHAT IS A REFUGEE?

A refugee is someone who has been forced to flee their country because of persecution, war, or violence.

A refugee has a well-founded fear of persecution for reasons of race, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group.

Most likely, they cannot return home or are afraid to do so. War and ethnic, tribal and religious violence are leading causes of refugees fleeing their countries.text that reads:

HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE REFUGEES?

By the end of June 2025, more than 117 million people were forcibly displaced worldwide as a result of persecution, conflict, violence, or human rights violations. 

This includes:
42.5 million refugees
67.8 million internally displaced people
6.86 million asylum seekers
5.76 million people in need of international protectiontext that reads:

WHERE DO REFUGEES COME FROM?

69% of all refugees and other people in need of international protection come from just five countries: Afghanistan, Syria, Venezuela, Ukraine, and South Sudan.
