Rev Karen @revkarensethuraman.bsky.social · 10/04/202628 years ago the GFA was signed. Reconciliation remains an ongoing process, and I am thankful for all committed to the path of peace. The agreement also affirms the future of this island should be decided by its people… and it’s time our people get to decide! #NewIreland 141
Rev Karen @revkarensethuraman.bsky.social · 09/04/2026Friends, Trump has now turned his hate towards the Pope. We must together stand against this. This isn’t Christianity.

Rev Karen @revkarensethuraman.bsky.social · 03/04/2026Holy Week .. In Jesus’ final days... He borrowed and arrived on a donkey, Washed dirty feet, Shared a meal with misfits, Felt abandoned, Forgave enemies, and went to the Cross because of His love for humanity. This is grace. Amazing Grace. It is Finished. 000
Rev Karen @revkarensethuraman.bsky.social · 02/04/2026Jesus shared the meal with a group of misfits who… Doubted Him, Questioned Him, Denied Him And Betrayed him. We do not get to say who can sit at the table. We do not get to draw up the guest list. We do not get to judge. Pull up a chair. All welcome! #MaundyThursday 170

Rev Karen @revkarensethuraman.bsky.social · 10/03/2026Beware of those who use Christianity to justify what is happening across our world.. God is not behind the war God is not behind the bombs and the drones This is not Christianity! God is in the rubble-with those whose lives are being crushed and destroyed. Lord, have mercy! 070

Rev Karen @revkarensethuraman.bsky.social · 05/03/2026When we view the “other” as an enemy to be destroyed rather than a neighbour to live alongside in peace… we have abandoned a part of our humanity. Blessed are the peacemakers! 021

Rev Karen @revkarensethuraman.bsky.social · 21/02/2026There should be a full investigation. You can’t claim to be a peacemaker while ignoring injustice. Peace without accountability protects harm. Abuse of children/misuse of power - no matter your title/position… must be met with accountability. Justice for survivors isn’t optional-it’s necessary! 042
Rev Karen @revkarensethuraman.bsky.social · 21/02/2026Patriarchy and misogyny may be part of church history… but that doesn’t make it Christian! 050

Rev Karen @revkarensethuraman.bsky.social · 18/09/2025When our Christianity makes the rich and powerful feel safe and supported and the poor and powerless feel unsafe and unsupported, that is when we can be sure we are following someone other than Jesus. 0199
