This is an urgent and important intervention by my fellow bishops and I support them in it.
The oppression, violence and discrimination against Palestinians in the West Bank, including Christians, must cease. The Israeli government is not above the law and must stop acting otherwise.
Steadfast Christian families such as the Kisiya family, whose ancestral land has been forcibly stolen from them, remain especially in my prayers. We continue to stand in prayerful solidarity with our Palestinian Christian sisters and brothers as they resist the injustice of occupation.
Hi everyone, Iโm afraid I bear some sad news. Most of you will know Dave has been fighting cancer for the past couple of years. Last night, on 28th February 2024, with Lili, Daveโs wife, his family, close friend Davidย and myself by his side, he passed away peacefully at home. All who knew Dave are devastated at his passing. His beloved wife brought him such happiness as did her children, Iza and Sergiu who Dave loved like his own.
Personally, I am not sure I can put into words on how I feel at the moment. My best friend is on a journey that for now, I canโt follow. I will miss him every day and the bond and friendship we shared over half a lifetime. I wish you godโs speed brother; you are and will remain a beacon in this world. See you on the other side. Love ya.
I know Dave and his family would want me to thank all of you who sent messages of support in recent times. It meant the world to him, his family and all The Hairy Bikers team. I am sending you all much love and gratitude for those simple acts of kindness, generosity and spirit. We are eternally grateful for them.
May I ask you all for one further kindness and allow Lili, his wife, his family, close friends and I some time and some peace to process our huge loss. I am sure I will see you all soon.
Love Si x
The only route out of this pandemic is #VaccinEquity.
We must end stockpiling and get vaccines distributed in countries that need them most.
The choice is vaccine nationalism or human solidarity.
@Sally12537257@mrdanwalker Actually it is both a dance contest and a popularity show, hence the public vote. It is about dancing ability, performance and personality. Just enjoy it for what it is.
