Remembering the chaplains on #DDay80. I wrote this 5 years ago in @MethRecorder about Leslie Skinner. He landed on D-Day with the Sherwood Rangers, dedicating himself to supporting his comrades and burying the dead. A remarkable Christian witness in war: "I go with them" he said.

[Rob Thompson @RobThompson1906]

Very sorry to hear Prof Jürgen Moltmann has died. It was one of the highlights of my time at CCJ to organise this lecture. Just weeks before the first Covid lockdown, a packed room hung on his every word.

"Truth is the first act of freedom, however painful the truth may be."

[Council of Christians and Jews @CCJUK]

We are saddened to hear of the death of Prof Jürgen Moltmann, one of the most influential Protestant theologians of recent times. CCJ was honoured to host Prof Moltmann at one of his last speaking engagements in the UK, in 2020, on Jewish and Christian theologies after Auschwitz
