Bethlehem Baubles is selling beautiful glass Christmas ornaments made by Palestinian artisans in the West Bank.

Buying online is easy. And if your church promotes them, people get a discount & the church gets £3.50 for each ornament bought with its code.

When a smooth transition of power follows free & fair elections, #democracy and the people win.
Honoured to witness #Botswana's 6th President, H.E. @duma_boko’s inauguration. We commend outgoing President @OfficialMasisi, a true African patriot.

The result from this election will be seen as a major blow to global climate action, but it cannot and will not halt the changes underway to decarbonise the economy and meet the goals of the Paris Agreement.

Standing with oil and gas is the same as falling behind in a fast moving world. Clean energy technologies will continue to outcompete fossil fuels, not just because they are healthier, faster, cleaner and more abundant, but because they undercut fossil fuels where they are at their weakest: their unsolvable volatility and inefficiency.

Meanwhile, the vital work happening in communities everywhere to regenerate our planet and societies will continue, imbued with a new, even more determined spirit today. Being here in South Africa for The @EarthshotPrize makes clear that there is an antidote to doom and despair. It’s action on the ground, and it’s happening in all corners of the Earth.

All We Can is a terrific organisation - and this would be a great job for someone wanting to work on justice and community development with churches here and partners in other countries.

Take a look ... or pass it on if you know someone who might be interested!
