St. Valentine was imprisoned beheaded & buried on 14 Feb 269 AD for helping persecuted Christians & marrying Christian couples! While in prison he prayed for his jailer’s daughter & her blindness was healed. On the day of his execution he left her a note signed, ‘Your Valentine.’

A very very good speech by @bishopSarahM integrating her professional experience as a nurse and her experience as a priest and a bishop. I am also pleased to see a full episcopal bench for this debate.

A church that sees the cross of Jesus as the central event of history can never identify any political order with the reign of God.

[G. K. Chesterton @GKCdaily]

We do not want, as the newspapers say, a Church that will move with the world. We want a Church that will move the world.

I gave a speech today in an empty chamber. It’s about the need for a Christian restoration.

Pope Leo: : “I was chosen, without any merit of my own, and now, with fear and trembling, I come to you as a brother, who desires to be the servant of your faith.”

Your words are powerful. With kind and encouraging words, you can change a person’s day – or even their entire life.

Sad to hear of the death of Pope Francis…servant of Jesus…a beacon of holiness, kindness, compassion and humility….a moral compass for this generation.
Very grateful for his opening (by video) of last year’s Leadership Conference at the Royal Albert Hall and for his participation in the Alpha Film Series.

‘The Folded Shroud’

The stone is rolled away.
The shroud is folded.
He is not there…

Myriam of Magdala ventures inside the tomb where Yeshua had been laid. She finds only the linen burial shroud, neatly folded, but his body is missing.

This is the last of four readings I’ve shared over the past few days. I hope these moments have moved you in some way. And I hope you’ll be inspired by the rest of The Greatest Story Ever Told… because the story doesn’t end here!
