@cofebirmingham This link will not allow me to search the database or check if our hub in CV7 is listed! It just sends up a leaflet with a link to something from Erdington … and another leaflet on sources of support for finance … maybe we need to email direct? @SPCBalsall

At our weekly “Warm Hub” drop-in in the church lounge - there’s always a warm welcome, hot drinks and friendly company. This week, as every ‘Second Thursday’ of the month, there’s not just tea and biscuits - there’s home-made cake! As well as advice …

@CommonBalsall Thank you. All made by Heart of England WI. Don't forget to look out for our stones hidden around the village.

Gaza: a freed hostage’s gesture should not be forgotten - a Guardian comment that could inform those of us who believe the church is called to be a reconciler …. @DifferenceRLN https://t.co/6lInCReK9m

The atrocious attack on Al Ahli Hospital violated the sanctity of human life.

We must exercise restraint in apportioning blame until the facts are clear.

But the bloodshed, slaughter and suffering of innocent people on all sides must stop.

What a lovely sunny day today! Give thanks! And maybe come and worship with us on Sunday - @ 9:30 its Switch, the informal service in the Hall, and at 11:00 and more traditional but quieter service of Communion in church.

[St Peter’s Church Balsall Common @SPCBalsall]

Just a brief reminder that this Sunday is *our* Harvest Festival. We shall be celebrating at 9:30 with a special Harvest Festival Communion Service! Do bring your gifts of fresh fruit and vegetables 🥗 & we shall take them to Narthex Foodbank and Community Kitchen in Sparkhill

@SirGeoffPalmer @AnglicanProject Nb Sir Geoff is not *”just”* a campaigner but also a fairly distinguished Prof in his own right! However, maybe you have to be on the ‘right’ side to be academically respectable, rather than ‘just’ accurate in your use of historical evidence…. Er, just saying.

@SanjeePerera1 @AnglicanProject @JonathanMetzl @DeleseWear Thanks!🤗👍🏽

[St Peter’s Church Balsall Common @SPCBalsall]

@SanjeePerera1 @AnglicanProject @JonathanMetzl @DeleseWear I also recall writing a chapter on psychiatry which referenced the use of diagnosis in Soviet times to incriminate or incarcerate protestors in Siberia … cannot now remember my sources!

@CommonBalsall Was always told they lived in MHL but no idea which house. Sorry.

@AnthonyGReddie @SusannaWesleyFd @queensfdn @jillmarsh23 @DLClough @rajpatta @SallyRush13 @ScholarPriest So pleased to see this elegant and concise history of Methodism & Antiracism from a dear friend! I still have my copy of Walton’s report (A Tree God Planted - reflecting the comments of one of our interviewees: ‘they point me down the street, but, like a tree God planted…’)
