Kent Christian Peace Activists

We are Christians in Kent who believe in peacemaking and resisting violence against humans and animals.

Today was unbelievably special. A huge crowd of more than 200 men, women and children turned up at the Folkestone military barracks this morning with heart-warming posters, chants and cheers to welcome the refugees there – all while dancing & singing to You’ve Got a Friend in Me!

Oh and this one is a particular favourite, too... “don’t let a few dickheads ruin the party” 🙌 (yep, the Christians of KCPA are proud to endorse a bit of excellently sweary signage!)

[Kent Christian Peace Activists @KCPeaceA]

These were some of our favourite signs from today’s @_KRAN_ event ... so many inspiring, big-hearted, justice-driven people gathering to say #RefugeesWelcome - to which we say AMEN!

[Kent Christian Peace Activists @KCPeaceA]

Wonderful to join with @_KRAN_ as official partners of the #RefugeesWelcome event at Napier Barracks in Folkestone today - and even more wonderful to see over 300 people turn up in support! Thanks to @radicalhoneybee for being our rep on the ground...

“Black lives matter is a theological statement, it’s a lament to the lord, it’s a prayer... it’s an assertion of the imago dei” #gbblm thank you @JemarTisby for your wisdom 🙏

Today I contributed a few more hours and a few more prayers to this vigil for the earth outside Parliament, which at its conclusion will have been held for a total of 1,096 hours 😮🙏💚 @CClimateAction @ExtinctionR

It has been a beautiful spring day here, & so the perfect morning to stand in protest & prayer in Dover with @KCPeaceA to say #RefugeesWelcome, with the wish that all our sisters & brothers might have the ease to enjoy the sun on their face without fear.

Spending a very wet hour praying for climate justice outside Parliament today as part of the #ExtinctionRebellion 40 day multi faith prayer and meditation vigil. #40daysofaction @CClimateAction

It was good indeed to return with @KCPeaceA to our monthly #RefugeesWelcome vigils at Dover ferry terminal this morning. We sang, we prayed, & the stunning #sunrise & the 'weeds' breaking through the concrete reminded us that beauty abounds & that better things are possible.

At our #RefugeesWelcome prayer & protest vigil this morning we read this wonderful hymn “Magnificat Now” by Fred Kaan: “He calls us to revolt and fight, with him for what is just and right, to sing and live Magnificat - in crowded street and council flat.” 🙌 #everydayfaith

"The journey to safety is hard. Europe doesn’t want refugees. We thought we had arrived to safety but Europe is trying to make us struggle more and send us back to danger."

After a little sabbatical in January we are back on the roundabout tomorrow for our monthly #RefugeesWelcome vigil at Dover Docks from 7.30am. We’d love you to pray with us from wherever you are...

[Kent Christian Peace Activists @KCPeaceA]

It was a wet & windy morning for our #RefugeesWelcome vigil. But we sang our hearts out! 🎶’King of all Nations, come, embrace and unify the human race; command our sad division cease and be for us the Prince of Peace. Rejoice, rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to you, O Israel’🎶

[Kent Christian Peace Activists @KCPeaceA]

@spacemagick Oh no 🤦‍♀️ we were interpreting this symbolically - lowly raised up and mighty cast down etc. Certainly not praying the universe gets any hotter, quite the opposite! 💚🌍 :)

[Kent Christian Peace Activists @KCPeaceA]

Our #RefugeesWelcome vigil at Dover this morning was met with wonderful positivity. A seafront hotel owner even came and offered us tea and coffee. We sang “now the green blade riseth” and proclaimed that #GodsLoveKnowsNoBorders. (1/3)

[Kent Christian Peace Activists @KCPeaceA]

Our vigil today was a particularly important time of prayer for all those who have lost their lives while attempting to cross borders, given recent events. #prayforrefugees @KentAntiRacism @diocantrefugee (3/3)

[Kent Christian Peace Activists @KCPeaceA]

We prayed in hope for one day when every valley shall be lifted up, & every mountain & hill be made low; the uneven ground shall become level, & the rough places a plain. Then the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, & all people shall see it together. (Isaiah 40) (2/3)
