Putting care first has strong support in Hitchin. MRP polling shows 59% agree with Andy Burnham that Parliament must fix care before considering assisted dying, while only 20% disagree. @alistrathern, please vote NO on 11 September. https://t.co/7f6MANuuH7
@Christianitymag@BigChurchFest I doubt such mocking would have happened if this sad incident had happened at eg Glastonbury, let alone at an event of other faiths.
@WalkerMarcus How about using the money to fund more ministry to mobilise the Body of Christ in sharing the Gospel and discipleship. Then the environment will be better stewarded.
@Adrian_Hilton@BBCNews Absolutely, well said. I took a double take when I heard this on the BBC tv news. I think the term used then was ‘consider’ - same issue arises. Worthy of a comment on Saturday morning News Watch.
@FrDidymus In my experience in 2 dioceses over 30+ years is that any support is fragmented. A spiritual director here, a work consultant there, some counselling perhaps. Favourite phrase by bishops: “Be kind to yourself”. It would be great to have more intentional relational accountability.
@talkChristianly It saddens me that so many cathedrals have next to no books about the Christian faith in their shops, or any leaflets available about Jesus. The two cathedrals I have association with (ordained in one and an honorary canon in another), make no effort to reflect the breadth.
A very very good speech by @bishopSarahM integrating her professional experience as a nurse and her experience as a priest and a bishop. I am also pleased to see a full episcopal bench for this debate.
A month on from the Commons vote on assisted suicide, it’s clear that quite a few MPs were confused about the bill or influenced by misinformation.

@AndrewRosindell@HouseofCommons I see you were one of the very few MPs present, when Danny Kruger gave his excellent speech. Thank you and him for keeping Christianity on the agenda of the House of Commons.
