Come and celebrate Christmas at a church near you.

I have written to our friends and neighbours from the Jewish community expressing our pain and solidarity 🙏🏾

[Robert Thompson (he/him) @Rgt71Robert]

“the use of Christianity as a cultural dividing line has been aptly characterised as “Christianism” – an aggressive and exclusionary assertion of “belonging” that need not have any connection with actual religious belief….the Church of England….must explore ways to assert itself against such perversions of the gospel message of inclusion and compassion for the stranger.”

Good to see the ecumenical and interfaith of our own Bishop of Edmonton @TheOutsider40 Anderson Jeremiah being cited as a what is needed.

Yaxley-Lennon’s appropriation of Jesus Christ is equivalent to nailing Him back to the cross.

This is not Christianity - it is violent pagan-influenced hate. Christ is present in those they trample underfoot.

Resist. Pray. Repeat.

[Peter Dobson @peterdobsonuk]

It was wonderful to have @bishopSarahM preside and preach at our regular Monday Eucharist in the chapel at Fulham Palace, with the encouragement, as we celebrated St. Clare, to find those habits which help us go on making a home with God in our lives daily.

I've written for @Theosthinktank on what it might mean for our world leaders to share the sign of peace, as they did at Pope Francis's funeral at the weekend: https://t.co/ir05AdnS9d

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Christ is risen! These words capture the entire meaning of our existence, for we were not made for death but for life. #Easter https://t.co/s8D2o4WCfV

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

I would like us to renew our hope that #peace is possible! From the Holy Sepulchre, the Church of the Resurrection, where this year #Easter is being celebrated by Catholics and Orthodox on the same day, may the light of peace radiate throughout the Holy Land and the entire world.

[Tim Farron @timfarron]

Good Friday. That Jesus died for us means that the God who breathed 2 trillion galaxies into existence, also looks at little old you and me and thinks ‘I will pay the highest price to be with them forever’. Whatever you think of yourself today, you matter. Will you respond..?

Today is PUBLICATION DAY for my new book Unmaking Mary: Shattering the Myth of Perfect Motherhood.

Aside from my actual children, it is the thing I am most proud of having birthed. It was a long, hard slog to write it on top of working and mothering, and...

BREAKING: Secret summit was held at Scottish castle between UK's 11 most senior Muslim and Jewish leaders

[Auschwitz Memorial @AuschwitzMuseum]

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Let us forcefully reaffirm today that the seeds of anti-Semitism must never again be allowed to take root in the human heart. Remembering the suffering and tears of the victims of the Holocaust, let us repeat: never again!

[Nat @natgrace79]

It is not the church's job to unify the country behind Caesar. It's the church's job to witness to the Kingdom of God, where the merciful are blessed.

[Fr. Joash P. Thomas @JoashPThomas]

This is the task of the Church over the next 4 years - speaking truth to power on behalf of our marginalized neighbours regardless of the blowback. ✊🏽

[Zach W. Lambert @ZachWLambert]

When you worship power, a sermon on the love and mercy of Jesus sounds like “spewing hate.”
