Interesting to note words like hope, spirit, belief, healing, mission, and renewal being used in Keir Starmer's speech outside Number 10.

Our new PM's speechwriter was, until a few months ago, the Archbishop of Canterbury's speechwriter.

Written 13 months ago for the coronation but thought I would repost today with a few tweaks in the light of this year's MCI Conference.

A glorious Evensong at @Southwarkcathed with @sgcjerusalem preaching followed by a really interesting, depressing & hopeful briefing & conversation with @BishopSouthwark on the Holy Land crisis followed by Q&A. Really struck by Richard’s plea that we do not turn our eyes away

[BBC Radio 4 PM @BBCPM]

Is there hope for peace in the Middle East?

Both Robi Damelin and Bassam Aramin lost children in the Israel - Palestine conflict.

Now they bring together people from the Jewish and Palestinian communities to preach reconciliation.

Today, as Christians around the world come together to pray for peace and an end to war and violence, please join me in this prayer for the Holy Land.

[Richard Sewell @sgcjerusalem]

Jerusalem’s international ‘Day of Prayer and Fasting’ for peace and justice in Israel and Palestine begins with a tolling bell. Praying for comfort for the bereaved, help for the vulnerable and for hostages and an end to the bombing in Gaza and Israel.

A Blessing for When You Don't Know How to Pray

Teach us how to pray, God,
when our faith doesn’t feel like comfort.
when there are not easy answers or tidy scripts.
when there are no other words but lament.

Teach us how to pray, God,
when we see Christ in Gethsemane
at the center of it all.

Teach us how to pray, God,
when the Spirit groans alongside us,
speechless too, at the pain,
at the inexplicable, at the unfair.
Joining the chorus of others
in this agonized prayer.

Teach us how to pray, God,
May our words of lament
turn toward acts of love,
as we remake this beautiful,
terrible world, together.

The President of the Methodist Church in Ireland, the Rev David Turtle calls on all of the Methodist people on our island to pray for the ongoing situation in Israel-Palestine.

★★★★★ Merrily We Roll Along "This new National Youth Music Theatre @NYMTuk production, with its cast aged between 12 and 23 is the most authentic revival possible. It also turns out to be one of the best. A hit. 5 stars, standing ovation given." https://t.co/MTa4dbhszt

★★★★★ Merrily We Roll Along @NYMTuk @swkplay "This production blew me away and was so fantastic that I wish I could go back to see it again. I wouldn’t be surprised if we saw some of this cast gracing West End stages within the next five years." https://t.co/p3rCJdkbxh

In working with more than 500 churches, The @UnstuckGroup identified certain expenditure areas where churches commonly invest too little or too much. Their findings may offer clues to bringing a better balance to your church’s budget. https://t.co/bnY8Nbtsz1
