Using scriptural passages such as the Beatitudes we will look at ways to ‘be’ in response to what is happening on the planet and explore together how this is our mission in the world. Book at: https://t.co/okK8PRl8Va

The Environment and Mission; eight ways to be humans on this earth. Our Principal, Rev. Dr Lucy Larkin, is one of the speakers at this #MissionShed gathering on Saturday.

[Spiritus Theological College @SpiritusCollege]

Lucy will be looking at how we can respond to the climate and ecological crisis in our individuality and uniqueness. Are you an artist, scientist, healer, advocate, contemplative?

We deplore the attempts by some extremist groups to spread disinformation and stir up racial hatred and violence. We are grateful for the ongoing work of the Devon and Cornwall Police in ensuring the safety of all.

.@churchofengland are developing better support for churches that have volunteers under the age of 18.

A survey has been commissioned to help understand the situation better. Have your say - the deadline is 31 July.

Anglicans Embrace Plastic Free July Campaign.

Plastic Free July is a global movement that began in 2011, inspiring millions across 190 countries to take small steps to reduce plastic use and pressure companies to cut back on plastic production. The initiative runs throughout July, promoting sustainable living and environmental stewardship.

This year, the Anglican Communion Environmental Network is spotlighting the impact of plastic on the most vulnerable communities. Their campaign centres around four key issues:

-Plastic waste leads to flooding
-Burning plastic is poisonous
-Plastic pollution threatens jobs
-Plastic increases climate change

The Green Anglicans are highlighting the impact of plastic through a creative TikTok campaign. Check out their latest video here: https://t.co/6o5we2N33s

The Revd Rachel Mash, Coordinator of the Anglican Communion Environmental Network, offered her insights on the Plastic Free July campaign during an interview on Cape Town TV: https://t.co/IpgReeDfbw

While July is the spotlight month, 89% of participants have reported making permanent changes in their lifestyles. If you haven’t joined the movement yet, it’s not too late to action: https://t.co/i8ckEQIQgV

We are delighted to announce that the Rt. Rev'd Dr Mike Harrison will be installed as the 72nd Bishop of Exeter in a service at Exeter Cathedral on Saturday 2 November at 3pm. You can read more about Bishop Mike here: https://t.co/P3OGsrwSn4 @ExeterCathedral @Bishop_Dunwich

[Archbishop of Canterbury @ArchbishopSarah]

I am appalled by the news that @WSJ's Evan Gershkovich has been sentenced to 16 years in prison.

Journalists worldwide should be free to hold power to account without fear.

We pray for the hundreds of journalists currently imprisoned for their vital work.

[Prof Morwenna Ludlow @MorwennaExe]

My conscience is troubled… what does that demand of you?

(My reflections on why appeals to conscience to justify major changes to CofE structures are misplaced)
