Privileged to share in this service. today. There’s something about the Prodigal Son I hadn’t considered before. Not quite heresy but certainly unorthodox.

Cheers to those who I chew the fat with

All worthwhile sermons start and finish in dialogue. Let’s hope this is one.

This is one of the best reflections on injustice, hope, identity I’ve heard in a while.

For those who are engaged in this sort of thinking. It’s primarily about the American Criminal Justice System, but also about so much more https://t.co/jg2OV8WwX3

Art plays such a key role in changing lives- it has been a privilege to work with like minded people bringing the arts into our work with people in prison/on probation- delighted to share this report (5/10)- hope it helps others to use the evidence and do more of this good stuff!

[Darren Howie @DarrenHowie2]

Art has a powerful way of unearthing deep and unutterable things, because it bypasses logic. ⁦@carrie__peters⁩ ⁦@rutland78⁩ this experience I shared on LinkedIn a case in point https://t.co/m9zKzdaBrm

Privilege.

[International Justice Mission (IJM UK) @IJMUK]

Delighted to be part of the #LiveLent panel live tonight, on the new resource #EmbracingJustice, with @churchofengland @SPCKPublishing.

Discussing how to 'act justly' with @alianoree from @IJMUK, @ChineMcDonald from @Theosthinktank, and @DarrenHowie2 from @BeanSacred.

[Darren Howie @DarrenHowie2]

Timely resource for the time of year, my least favourite time of year. I’m forced to look in so I can look out and forward. That’s profoundly uncomfortable. I have to change and act, a terrifying ordeal if taken alone. Help us shoulder the burden of lent. https://t.co/eOELSDkbmU

The “addict” and “criminal” will only ever be fully transformed when the society in which they live in is willing and committed to being transformed in the process.

It’s not about blame. It’s about accountability.

[Darren Howie @DarrenHowie2]

@JustinWelby @churchofengland @alianoree @ChineMcDonald It was a privilege to meet you again, and to see my dear friend Isabelle Hamley. Great dialogue about real issues and God’s heart, and our compassionate and “pro-testant“ responses. Enjoy your Brazil Bom Jesus.

[Darren Howie @DarrenHowie2]

Preaching, the craft of storytelling and curating soul news, is to be engaged in the art of the heart, the hubris of divine artistry.

[Darren Howie @DarrenHowie2]

Privilege to write a short contribution of my own story for @JustinWelby’s Lent Book 2022, on the themes of Justice, and to visit @lambethpalace a week on Wed to be filmed in conversation with ++Welby and the author, my dear friend, Rev.Dr. Isabelle Hamley. Thanks for the invite.

It was such a privilege to support the local authorities at the Derby Remembrance Service today. All the more fitting to serve their dignitaries a coffee that speaks of a world of peace and hope in war-torn lands. Lest we forge. Thanks @DerbyMayor and @DerbyCC for all you do

@PaulGilroy3 You all had a part to play. Never forget the impact of genuine care and interest in a young person’s life, despite the fact that it might take years to bud or bloom.
