@AkpoOnduku @ChurchesEngland Congratulations. Well deserved

[Patrick Watt @WattPatrick]

It was great to welcome World Council of Churches Gen. Sec. Jerry Pillay to @christian_aid today, and discuss our joint work for justice and peace, in a world that is lacking in both @Oikoumene 🤝

Sad to hear about the passing of Benjamin who was an icon and advocate of racial justice. Indeed, take your rest in eternal peace.

[Judith Jacob @JJyabbas]

I'm truly sad to hear that Benjamin Zephaniah has left this world. However, he his works lives on and he will be remembered. Rest In Eternal Peace Benjamin 😔

In light of the media story and public conversation @AMukwashi' book 'But where are you really from' explains why the outrage is real and why the struggle for racial justice continues. https://t.co/WGmhvu39JH

[Dionne Gravesande @DGravesande]

@ARanawana25 Kudos to you @ARanawana25 for your first publication, it provokes important questions. Thank you for adding to a theological discourse connecting racial identity and planet sustainability to the mission of Christ.

[Mia Amor Mottley @miaamormottley]

“We have the power of choice. We must choose to act.” This was my message today at the Sharm El-Sheikh Climate Implementation Summit Opening Ceremony at #COP27. I believe that it is only through using our power of choice, to act, that we can truly address this climate crisis.
