@mark_hardingham @BrynEnvironment @SuffolkFire Thank you so much for all you are doing. I keep you all in my prayers.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

These days of pain and sadness are bringing many hidden problems in society to the surface. We ask St Teresa of Calcutta to reawaken in us the sense of nearness to so many persons who are hidden in normal life, such as the homeless. #PrayTogether

[Stephen Platten @StephenPlatten]

Christianity’s message is hope - deep in our hearts is the call to sing of God’s love in Jesus Christ - in challenging times, worship, prayer and celebration unite us all - let us go beyond unavoidable constraints to offer hope to every living soul - pray for all, do God’s work!

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

If you find it hard to pray, don’t give up. Be still; make space for God to come in; let Him look at you, and He will fill you with His peace. #Lent

[Dr Steve Dunn @DrSteveDunn]

Love this video by our F10 team who are looking after suspected Covid-19 patients. Takes a lot of courage. But when they had a challenging day they did this to get through #teamwork. They #StayAtWorkForYou so #PleaseStayAtHome. And if you can make this viral for them!!!!

[Cardinal Nichols @CardinalNichols]

Following on from the PM's message last night, all churches must close & remain closed. It is essential that we all follow this instruction, painful & difficult though it is. As our churches remain closed, let us open our hearts even wider. #COVID19 https://t.co/ufCsQk3eJa

[Dr Francis Young @DrFrancisYoung]

They will wait for us, empty and stippled by sunlight – the soaring cathedrals, the time-wounded little sanctuaries, the brooding ruins of our past, the yew-hemmed churchyards where our ancestors lie

[Martin Seeley @Martin_Seeley]

@DrFrancisYoung Can we have a conversation about this Francis? We had been planning such a move - rule of life etc- as part of the legacy of our Benedictine year - tied in to a course on Benedictine life that we now need to turn into a virtual course.

[Dr Phillippa Lawson @thegoodsleeppro]

To my fellow NHS workers. I’m a consultant in acute & respiratory medicine @WestSuffolkNHS. Like you, I am gearing up for whatever is to come. I have one plea: please look after your wellbeing as well as your patients. Get sleep, take a walk, eat well, sing! It’s all about you

[Kathleen @SisKathleen]

The Italian airforce gives a big emotional lift to their nation with Pavarotti singing Nessun Dorma (let no one sleep)and where lyrics say venceremos(we will overcome)they have their planes dramatically facing and overpowering the single plane (virus) with their National Flag!

[Mohamad Safa @mhdksafa]

China sent medical masks to Italy, & wrote on the boxes a quote of a Roman poem: “We are waves from the same sea”

Japan had donated supplies to China, & wrote on the boxes a quote of a Chinese poem: "We have different mountains & rivers, but we share the same sun, moon, & sky."

[Dr Francis Young @DrFrancisYoung]

Thank you to all who attended the launch of my book last night, especially surprise visitor @Martin_Seeley, the Bishop of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich

[Andrew McGowan @Praxeas]

English translations of the NT since KJV (at least) completely fudge a passage (Matt 5) where Jesus exhorts people to literal (probably animal) sacrifice, in a text that gets applied to the eucharistic offertory in some traditions; 1/4 #sacrifice

[Haggis_UK 🇬🇧 🇪🇺 @Haggis_UK]

Minette Batters(NFU) - For Boris Johnson "to sign up to a trade deal which results in opening our ports, shelves & fridges to food which would be illegal to produce here would not only be morally bankrupt, it would be the work of the insane."

[Father Andrew @StPeterWalworth]

I've seen Black & White people wanting to work for a @churchofengland where everyone can flourish/pursue their call under God this week. Also seen textbook white fragility coming my way on twitter. Please share this frm @renireni as widely as poss: https://t.co/rgOYXTkFde

[John Simpson @JohnSimpsonNews]

I’m not retweeting this because I’m Corporation Man, but because as a British citizen I’m afraid there’s a growing movement to take the BBC apart and refashion UK broadcasting in the image of Fox TV. #foxtv #savetheBBC #bbclicensefee

[Archbishop of Canterbury @ArchbishopSarah]

Today’s debate on the racism faced by black and minority ethnic Anglicans, including the Windrush generation, made me ashamed of our history – and institutional racism that continues in @churchofengland. We voted unanimously to admit failures and commit to radical change. #Synod

[Suffolk Show @SuffolkShow]

We have won Best County/Agricultural Show of the Year in the Showing Council Awards!
Thank you to everyone who voted for us and to those who make the Suffolk Show so special!

[Cardinal Nichols @CardinalNichols]

As the UK formally leaves the European Union, we have an opportunity to move beyond the divisions which have been evident at many levels in our society. Let us renew our commitment to each other through everyday acts of #kindness

[BBC Radio 4 Today @BBCr4today]

Archbishop of Canterbury @JustinWelby on Brexit day says we must work together: "We must be united in a common vision for our country, however great our differences on achieving it, a common hope for what we want to happen, and what we want to do in the years to come." #r4Today
