PATHETIC!

More sewage dumped into the environment in 2024 than ever before. Whatever you're doing it isn't working.

I hope there's a plan B, you're gonna need it.

Russia has kidnapped tens of thousands of Ukrainian children. Putin was indicted for this crime. Yale has a unit searching for them. Musk eliminated the funding.

I ran @USAID health programs for the last 3 years. Trump’s 90 day Stop Work Order on foreign assistance does serious damage to the world and the US. Examples:🧵

This year our properties will host 58 Santa’s grottoes and 2 Mother Christmas story times. The Mother Christmas reading events are not new. The world may have gone mad but I don’t think this has been caused by 2 children’s reading events.

Today in @timeshighered, we have three lessons for interfaith engagement on campus

"Interfaith work can’t just be a crisis response. It needs to be sustained, building up credibility and capacity in the good times that can be drawn upon in the bad."

The idea that #Cottrell cd do nothing abt #Tudor is ludicrous. I've been threatened with clergy discipline simply for criticising a bishop for confirming young girls without disclosing that he doesn't ordain female priests. #r4today @BishopNewcastle @MadsDavies @cathynewman

Year 5 really enjoyed their workshop with @IntoUniversity learning all about what university is.

I think +Sarah’s face says it all. An Inappropriate attempt to inject levity into a dire situation. It’s not the time for quips. Maybe some wanted a “head to roll,” but most people hurt by the church just want honesty, humble accountably and genuine repentance. This ain’t it.

[Jayne Ozanne OBE @JayneOzanne]

I'm speechless at @Justinwelby's crass & narcissistic valedictory speech

This was the time to show contrition, apologise to victims & take responsibility - if there was anyone to 'pity' it was the victims! Instead we got jokes

No wonder @bishopSarahM has her head in her hands!

[LSE Faith Centre @LSEFaithCentre]

Yesterday at BFL we discussed religion and leadership, the place of religion in public life, and how to avoid excluding or exploiting religion in government engagement, with fascinating insights from @hannahmerich, @nadiakhanwrites, @jackpalmerwhite and @armdickson

[Caroline Lucas @CarolineLucas]

I’ve worked alongside the fab ⁦@curlewcalls⁩ for years on the Natural History GCSE & it was *not* a Tory initiative. It was agreed due to huge pressure campaigners brought to it. It’s a pity we’ve got to do it all over again with Labour -but we will! https://t.co/ExQy8Js8Bw

Someone who came to #Evensong last night, who says they are "not religious" described the service, surrounded by such beautiful music, as being "like being embraced". A great way to describe it. It is like being surrounded by a big hug of beautiful sound.

[James Walters @LSEChaplain]

Religion needs to be a bigger part of the climate conversation

[Imperial College Chamber Choir @ICChamberChoir]

Here's another rehearsal teaser of Frank Martin's amazing Mass for double choir. It's part of a selection of choral classics we'll be performing at this Wednesday's end-of-term concert at St James' Church, Sussex Gardens! Tickets can be found via the link in our bio.

[Imperial College Chamber Choir @ICChamberChoir]

ICCC are delighted to introduce our brilliant Organ Scholar @jcolyermusic who is accompanying us for our evensongs this year! Outside of Imperial, Joel is the Director of Music at St Francis Church, Welwyn Garden City, and works as a freelance organist, conductor and accompanist.

To prevent flooding in our communities, we must start in the uplands.

Replanting woodlands and restoring peat bogs helps store more water in the landscape, reducing the risk downstream.

We can keep building higher flood walls, but working with nature is far more effective.
