...and why my name had been forged on the documents.
He climbed down the ladder.
Wiped his hands on a rag.
Then sighed.
He told me that six years ago, my biological father tracked him down.
He was completely broke.
Suffering from severe alcohol-induced dementia.
Living in a homeless shelter.
He knew that if my biological father died on the streets...
...or came looking for me...
...it would destroy the stability I had finally built in my twenties.
He didn't want me to feel obligated to care for the man who abandoned me....

What we are witnessing in Türkiye is a dangerous authoritarian escalation.
The repression of protesters, attacks against the opposition and growing pressure on democratic institutions cannot be ignored.
We stand with CHP, with Özgür Özel and with all democratic forces defending freedom, justice, and democracy.

Let's have a Bishop of London who ordains women and accepts the spiritual authority of our archbishop of Canterbury - please, Anglicans, sign this petition to say this is what we want for the biggest diocese in our country https://t.co/xnmSC5IWbm

@billbraviner Thanks for your prayer. I hope that you are recovering well. 🙏

Give us a passion, Lord Jesus,
to live in the way you set before us;
not to take pride in our own boastfulness,
but to look for the good of others,
bearing not only our own concerns,
but also the cares of others.
Grow in us the gentle and forgiving
spirit of love.

[Ros Wilkinson @revrosist]

@MartynPercy Enjoy your visit to Turkey. Have you and your companions read Christian women in Turkish - a history. Available on Amazon and from bookshops. For a taster see https://t.co/Sqj0SoqVHI.

@billbraviner Amen! May we live out the glory of Christmas all year round!

The pope with Bartholomew the Orthodox Patriarch together at Iznik, the ancient Nicea where 1700 years ago Bishops from the known world came together to write down a summary of the Christian faith. This summary, the Nicaean creed, is recited in churches far and wide.

#MorningPrayer
Grant us, Lord,
the wisdom and courage
to meet injustice
not with a desire
for revenge and retribution,
but with the strength
to expose it, name it,
and shame it.
Guide us not to play evil
at its own game,
but to show to all the way
of your justice, peace and love.

[Bill Braviner @billbraviner]

#MorningPrayer
Lord,
you call us to be salt;
not to be hoarded
for our own benefit,
but spread abroad
to be the savour of life
in love, peace and justice.
You call us to be light;
not to be hidden,
but to illuminate the world
with the light of your kingdom,
drawing hearts to you.

A prayer for the next Archbishop of Canterbury, @BishopSarahM. 🙏

[Ros Wilkinson @revrosist]

@WATCH_ACT @churchofengland @ChurchTimes What is meant by 'theological conviction'. What are these and are records of their discussions, presentations etc available to anyone? My belief is that #Jesuswasanegalitarian

[Bill Braviner @billbraviner]

#MorningPrayer
Open our ears, Lord,
to your wisdom and guidance,
and to the pain and injustice
of the world.
Open our hearts
and fill us with your love.
Open our lips that we may speak
the words of your grace to all.
Open our hands
that we may reach out with hope
to all in need.

[Bill Braviner @billbraviner]

#MorningPrayer
Remind us, Lord,
of our need to step back
from the busyness of life,
to spend time consciously
in your presence,
listening for your
guidance and wisdom,
being refreshed in your love,
so we may have
the spiritual resources
to reach out to others
and share your love.

[Bill Braviner @billbraviner]

#MorningPrayer
Remind us, Lord,
that you seek and find us,
see and know us,
search and call us,
before we notice or know
your presence among us.
Help us to recognise
your voice in our hearts,
inviting us to share in
the life of your kingdom,
to shine today
the light of your love.

Some people say the church is making room for women.

How much room, exactly?

Funny how my “feminist” cartoons are the ones that offend men the most.

Down with the patriarchy!

[Henri Nouwen (1932–1996) @nofearinlove77]

@nakedpastor It’s absurd that so-called church leaders spend so much time debating women’s roles instead of focusing on something truly meaningful. They should allow women to serve in whatever roles they feel called to.

[Ros Wilkinson @revrosist]

Amen!

[Bill Braviner @billbraviner]

#MorningPrayer
Reveal your presence, Lord,
in our story and
in the story of the world;
help us bring the tangles
and loose ends of life to you,
that you may
challenge what is bad,
encourage what is good,
inspire healing,
and restore relationship,
that with you
we may build peace.

[Bill Braviner @billbraviner]

#MorningPrayer
Fill our lives, Lord,
with the gift of your peace,
with the assurance of your promises.
In the face of all that
the world calls us to face today,
remind us that there is nothing
which can come between us and your love,
nothing that can divert
your grace, your hope.
