Whilst the church expends energy into arguing to keep the buildings open, the vast majority of the population (who don’t go to church) wonder why we the church should stay open as their businesses close. Pour energy into innovating how we communicate gospel hope and then do so.

[Archbishop of Canterbury @ArchbishopSarah]

Even in the darkest moments, to be a Christian is to declare hope — because God’s steadfast love endures for ever.

Archbishop @CottrellStephen and I have written about the importance of resilience as we face this most uncertain of winters: https://t.co/ygxBjVrPX9

@WalkerMarcus Does the latter include Canterbury?

@StBartholomews Define "known"? 🤔

@gtomlin Where should that investment come from?

[BishopSarah @bishopSarahM]

Today in The House of Lords I stressed the importance of local wisdom in public health responses. Rules that come from the top should be informed by real experiences of those on the ground.

@mayerandrew You don't think so? What a pity...

[Archbishop of Canterbury @ArchbishopSarah]

I hope and pray that, as a society, we can celebrate honest public debate - where all voices are welcomed, and we recommit to working together, despite our differences, for the common good.

[Archbishop of Canterbury @ArchbishopSarah]

Jesus cared about how political decisions affect people: so the Church cares too. You may agree or disagree with us - as much as we disagree among ourselves. But we're following the example and teaching of Jesus.

[Archbishop of Canterbury @ArchbishopSarah]

As expected there’s been lots of “clergy should stay out of politics” since yesterday.

Christians and people of all faiths take part in the national debate. This is democracy and freedom. I have seen the opposite. Treasure what we have.

@WalkerMarcus Thankfully I've only had to travel into London once in the last 6 months. One loses touch with what it must be like now.

@mayerandrew @SteveBakerHW Oh dear.... Do try reading their fourth object before commenting further. Your only displaying your own embarrassing ignorance.

@mayerandrew @SteveBakerHW And their respective institutions are not charities. Next?

[Faith Unlocked @FaithUnlocked]

@mayerandrew @SteveBakerHW The Archbishops wrote a joint letter on their own accounts. This is not a matter of charity law.

@mayerandrew @SteveBakerHW Bit of a stretch to suggest that the Archbishop's Council is related to this issue
