I work for the Church of England as a "National Ecumenical Officer". My job is basically about encouraging partership in mission between Christian Churches. It can be fun!

Easter joy breaks from Jerusalem even in midst of the all that is so destructive. The resurrection is given to us not as a comfort but as a calling to strive for all that is for life and peace.

I totally condemn the Israeli missile attack on the Anglican run Al Ahli hospital in Gaza in the early hours of this morning. The last functioning hospital in Gaza City, this was a place of healing and sanctuary. My Palm Sunday ‘hosanna’ is now a desperately sad and muted one. Lord, have mercy.

Faith leaders unite in moral call against child poverty Open letter to the co-chairs of the Ministerial Child Poverty Taskforce calling for greater action on child poverty has been signed by Dr Nicola Brady, CTBI, and senior faith leaders. ctbi.org.uk/news-and-eve...
"400,000 children are set to be pulled into poverty over the next decade. This cannot be acceptable. As we look around the communities we serve, it is clear that this is not a time for half measures."
Child poverty: senior faith leaders issue moral call for government to be 'bold and ambitious'.

Tonight I will be joining Ukrainian soldiers, training in Norfolk with the Irish Guards, marking this sad 3rd anniversary of the invasion of their nation. We will say the litany of the dead. Please join with me in praying for these brave soldiers, the people of Ukraine, and for a just peace.
