Congregationalist pastor Edward Lawrence: those who have ventured to the farthest verge of woe are quickest to see want next door. Today "charity begins at home" means the family, full stop. Lazarus at the gate is presumably someone else's household. #christian #congregationalist #bible #compassion

Edward A. Lawrence, Congregationalist pastor in Marblehead, Massachusetts, took a pin to "charity begins at home." No one is quicker to spot want next door, he said, than the person whose giving already reaches the farthest verge of sin and woe. The wide heart sees the near need. Today the slogan has moved house, into the family itself, with manly marching orders that stop at the garden fence. Lazarus at the gate is presumably someone else's household.

UAE officials have warned the UK government that the severity of Man City's punishment could undermine their appetite for future grand-scale commitments in Britain, according to people familiar with the matter
They consider the Premier League's actions to have an influence on the bilateral state relationship, the people said, asking not to be identified discussing undisclosed information
The extraordinary pressure comes after Andy Burnham faced criticism, including from within government, for saying Man City's Abu Dhabi owners should not be disqualified specifically because of the investment they bring to Britain

Interesting story of a Hindu organisation which ended up in the High Court in a dispute about which of two contending parties were entitled to the money and property. Reminds me of the Free Church Case, in which the House of Lords ruled in 1904 that all the property belonged to a small minority

Although the phrase "sent to Siberia" is the common way of describing this, people were sent to other places as well. Of the 21 people with my very niche Lithuanian surname locked up in 1951, 19 of the 21 were indeed sent to Siberia. 2 were sent to places in Russia, but not Siberia
