@alexdjfrost As someone who spent many years working on Common Awards and with a passion for alternative assessment I’d point once more to the high degree of flexibility and openness to innovation in CA. A ‘traditional academic’ pathway is a bit of a misnomer.

There is nowhere left for Gazans to go.

An assault on Rafah will risk civilian casualties for 1.3 million people seeking shelter.

@RishiSunak must act to stop the Israeli offensive, end all military support for Israel, and call for an immediate ceasefire.

The UK public has raised an incredible £150 million for the DEC Turkey-Syria Earthquake Appeal. See how your donations are helping them on the long road to recovery.

I always love to get my classes to think about the inclusion of the Magnificat in evensong. What can seem like the sweetest of songs, is actually better equated with punk rock!

H/t to @drkatiecross for the meme!

On Saturday 14 October, Christian Aid partner Feda lost her daughter Habiba to an airstrike in Gaza.

She was eight-years-old, and was sat at home drawing a picture.

[Richard Sewell @sgcjerusalem]

Disaster: our hospital, Ahli Arab hospital has taken a direct hit from an Israeli missile. Early reports say hundreds of women and children killed. This is deliberate killing of vulnerable civilians. The bombs must stop now. There can be no possible justification for this.

[Embrace the Middle East @FollowEmbrace]

In partnership with our friends @christian_aid we’ve produced an order of service that can be used by churches wishing to hold a prayer vigil for the crisis in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories. 🙏

@sarajcox The one we use most often is if one of us says ‘did you know…’ then the person has to answer ‘I did not realise that. Russell, did you realise that?’ (Wayne’s World). It’s so niche but we’ve been doing for years now and it’s like a reflex.
