One of my pet hates: New Testament Bible commentaries that write about the Jewish faith and traditions in the past tense and assume that all readers will unequivocally accept supersessionism (the notion that the covenant God made with the Jewish people is rendered void by Christ)

@jonathanclinch I was there!! Totally agree - it was utterly brilliant

[Brendan Cox @MrBrendanCox]

For those who know @JustinWelby the fact he is privately volunteering in hospitals will come as no surprise, but nevertheless it’s an example of leadership at its best.

[Boris Johnson @BorisJohnson]

It is hard to find the words to express my debt to the NHS for saving my life.

The efforts of millions of people across this country to stay home are worth it. Together we will overcome this challenge, as we have overcome so many challenges in the past. #StayHomeSaveLives

We are saddened to read that 24 people have been killed in an attack during a church service in Burkina Faso. Places of worship are sacred spaces and no one should have their safety compromised because of their faith or beliefs

[Luke Larner @lucaslarner]

Sometimes representing an institution is tough, especially when it makes statements you don’t agree with. So to all my friends - gay or straight - I believe your love is sacred and it is of God. I’m sorry that we’re failing you, some of us want change. https://t.co/Eh4IWnmwsL

A harrowing watch, my heart bleeds and my mind cannot equate what these men went through behind closed, powerful doors.
I'd urge anyone and everyone who's involved in the CofE to watch this, to know what happened in our houses, and on our time.

CCJ has released a statement welcoming the Church of England’s groundbreaking new document on Jewish-Christian relations.

It's been a privilege to have played a part in the planning, prep and running of today's conference focused on #DomesticAbuse and the Family Courts. So inspiring to see people from diff perspectives all striving for an improved Family Ct system #charitytuesday #accesstojustice

[London SupportTCourt @LondonSTC]

A fantastic day concludes at @LondonSTC @LondonSTC Conference, "Working Together to Improve our Approach to Domestic Abuse in a Post-LASPO World' #domesticabuse #accesstojustice #FamilyCourt

There's been more heart-breaking stories of fatal knife violence in Brum this week. Watch our film about how we as a church are responding to this crisis: https://t.co/fTFtuuo9h8 #LivesNotKnives @NewbiginSchool @RedLetters_uk @NNinBrum @safespacesyp @urbandevotion @LNKcharity

@MathewsAnnika @sophoftheyear @taize @nearneighbours Have a fab time Annika! I spent a week in Taizé two weeks ago, and sadly couldn't go for that weekend too because of work. It sounds wonderful! Hope you have a great time 😁

[Birmingham Pro Bono Network @BrumProBono]

BPBN meets… The Personal Support Unit! We were fortunate to meet with Sarah Hall and @celiagould of @PSUBirmingham to chat about what the service offers, its new projects and initiatives and how YOU can get involved.

If you are mourning and celebrating Notre Dame, you should also be relieved by the containment of a fire at the Al-Aqsa Mosque in East Jerusalem. This is probably the third-holiest site in Islam and of incalculable historical value.

The light shines in the darkness and the darkness will not over come it.

[Council of Christians and Jews @CCJUK]

At CCJ, we sometimes come across Christians wanting to run their own Christian Seders. Here's a thread on why we think that's a bad idea:

[BishopSarah @bishopSarahM]

Good to stand in solidarity. An attack against faith somewhere is an attack on faith every where.

@joshuaharris34 Birmingham Cathedral has an 11am Sung Eucharist on Sundays! Let me know if you want to join me one week :)

[Celia Gould @celiagould_]

I love my work colleagues - on Wednesday we went to @Mowglistfood and tonight we're going to support a volunteer @BirminghamOpera! #WorkLifeBalance #workhardplayhard

[BishopSarah @bishopSarahM]

Modern day slavery disproportionately affects women. Of the 40 million trapped in modern day slavery over 70% are women and girls. #IWD2019 let's raise our voices against this terrible crime. #moderndayslavery

[Celia Gould @celiagould_]

A fascinating and enlightening quiz - I scored a total of 19 / 21! Discussing how Generation Y and millennials experience and interact with spirituality and faith is vital #GenYSpirituality

[Jessica Spencer @JessicaSpencerQ]

Great to be at #GenYSpirituality, amongst people unashamedly using terms like ‘Gen Y’ and ‘spirituality’.
