We stand with @bevismarksuk

[Josh Harris @WestminsterJosh]

I am inspired by the persistence and courage of @bevismarksuk fighting a development which would block the sky and restrict freedom to worship. We at @StKatharineCree & @BotolphAldgate are proud to stand with our Jewish neighbours and friends alongside many others

[The Aldgate School @aldgateschool]

Through the many rich opportunities we offer here at The Aldgate School, our children are able to build their character and are set on the path to becoming active citizens. Take a look at the video to find out what our children have to say about just one of their adventures...

Delighted to see these amazing prints by @aldgateschool children on hoarding on the Minories (one in particular caught our eye!)

Yesterday we were pleased to be joined by the Portsoken Ward Club and pupils from @aldgateschool for Beating the Bounds, a traditional Ascension Day activity where we walked and prayed around the parish. Here we remembered the Minoresses who lived in the Abbey of St Clare.

[Rabbi Shalom Morris @RabbiMorris]

Thank YOU! We say with one voice, NO! We refuse to remain silent when our very religious liberty is threatened by inappropriate development. There is a limit to what is acceptable harm, and this far surpasses it.

We ask the @cityoflondon to listen to our pleas.

[Bevis Marks Synagogue @bevismarksuk]

Thank you for joining us today to hear how we will be severely impacted by this proposed development.

It is heartening to know that there are so many in the @churchofengland in the @cityoflondon who understand what we are going through and wish to stand in solidarity with us.
