This week, I had the privilege of participating in the UNA-UK Secretary-General hustings at Central Hall Westminster in London, the historic venue where the first session of the United Nations General Assembly was convened 80 years ago.

I was honoured to engage with representatives from government institutions, think tanks, universities, the diplomatic community, and citizens committed to the future of international cooperation.

My central message was simple: the United Nations is not facing a crisis of principles. The Charter remains as relevant today as it was in 1945. The Organization faces a crisis of credibility.

The UN was founded on a simple yet powerful promise: that by working together, nations could build a more peaceful, just, and secure world where people can live in dignity, free from fear and want. My commitment is to work with Member States to restore confidence in that promise. That requires a UN that is more effective, more accountable, and focused on delivering results for the people it serves.

Christ is risen from the dead, and with him, we too rise to new life! This Easter proclamation embraces the mystery of our lives and the destiny of history, reaching us even in the depths of death. #Easter

‘Because of Jesus’ death and resurrection, there’s Easter joy now, but even a deep inner joy through the worst experiences of life, because nothing can take our eternal hope away.'

‘On this Easter Day, we rejoice that Jesus is alive – and he’s with us by his Spirit today...'

‘The resurrection isn’t about going back; it’s moving onwards and upwards. It’s about new beginnings, a new relationship, a new life, a new hope.’

[MethodistCentralHall @MCHW]

‘The first Easter morning was a ‘dark’ and hopeless time for all who loved Jesus.'

‘Jesus took upon himself the sin and hopelessness of the whole world that we might be set free, forgiven and born to a new life in Christ.’

Revd Tony Miles #MCHWLIVE #GoodFriday

[MethodistCentralHall @MCHW]

‘Do we expect Jesus to bless our lives if they are founded on the values of the world, or do we expect our lives to be based on the values Jesus put forward, values that may well take us to the cross?’

Revd Peter Edwards #MCHWLIVE #PalmSunday

[MethodistCentralHall @MCHW]

‘Even though our expectations of Jesus may well be not the same as those of the Jerusalem crowd, there is always the possibility that we too might have misplaced expectations of Jesus. What might those be?’

Revd Peter Edwards #MCHWLIVE #PalmSunday

[MethodistCentralHall @MCHW]

‘Belief isn't about ignoring pain; it’s about inviting Jesus into it.’

Honoured to open this morning’s @ChurchWorks_UK Summit at @MCHW in prayer, and hear from Faith and Communities Minister @MiatsF. The Summit concluded with an address by my dear friend, @ChurchesEngland General Secretary @_MikeRoyal.

It was also wonderful to catch up with our very own @THanna81 on the remarkable work of @ExodusYWUK.
