Sic enim Deus dilexit mundum, ut Filium suum unigenitum daret: ut omnis qui credit in eum, non pereat, sed habeat vitam æternam

For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life
John 3:16

It is deeply moving as the Christmas Crib Service approaches to remember visiting Bethlehem, and reverencing the place where the manger stood on that night long ago.

Why do some church leaders get very upset when they sense Christian faith is being 'hijacked' by the 'right'—when they have not breathed a word about the danger of being 'hijacked' by the 'left'?

Padre Wylie is spending this Christmas over 6,000 miles away from home.

In his message home he shares his festive thoughts with us as he prepares for Christmas in Kenya.🎄

On #ArmisticeDay, we remember all who gave their lives in pursuit of peace. We especially call to mind Army chaplains who sacrificed their lives for others.

Their courage will always be remembered.🙏

@sgtsamdobbs @Police_Memorial Deeply tragic news

The idea that the rise of Christianity had nothing to do with its substance or ideas but was only a factor of a desire for power & money is so mad it's hard to credit. Clearly no one told Polycarp (or any of the other early martyrs, or John Chrysostom, or persecuted Middle Eastern Christians etc etc etc)

The welfare state has removed the link between effort and reward. Benefits are no longer a ‘safety net’ — they’re a tax on the conscientious to reward the idle. It’s not just unfair, it’s immoral.

@charlottecholey Some years ago when I was a Church Commissioner, an Archbishop of Southwark asked me when we were going to return "their" churches. I replied, give me a list and we'll start next Monday... "I was only joking!" came the reply.

@landeur @charlottecholey Not Church of England churches
