In #BatleyBenefice churches, we held a minute silence and prayed for family and friends of David Amess, following his tragic murder on Friday. We gave thanks for a life dedicated to public service, for comfort and consolation in this time of shock and grief.

Batley and Spen has been through a lot in recent years, but time and time again we have come together as a community.

Generosity. Warmth. Respect. Tolerance. Love.

Thank you @DanielLuecking for the photo and help raising awareness in the German newspaper ‘der taz’ https://t.co/8Ujf7JIIyj about our community’s response to attempts by some to stoke division. I went out to meet the far-right march through Batley town centre. #NoRacism
