I can’t stop thinking about World Central Kitchen. In a war, they were feeding those on the brink of famine in Gaza. And now they’ve been bombed by Israel and forced to leave.

When was I starving and you gave me something to eat? Jesus asked. Lord, forgive us.

One of many reasons I love poets: "Like [Balaam's ass], who is beaten and prodded in an effort to push her off-course, poetry obstinately keeps on its path: for it sees an angel there in front of it." - Jan Zahradnicek

So, if not addiction, mental health, weather, etc., what has triggered the crisis? Simply put, it’s the cost of housing, writes @FranQuigley. https://t.co/sHWZq99mQt

@racheljl A business in the US gathered folks to talk about ending poverty. Everyone in the group was also part of a religious community. Not one of those communities was having a discussion this private, for profit business was having.

@racheljl Yes, yes, yes

Slightly belated news, but am pleased to say I have been appointed Director of Social Justice and Social Action for @MethodistGB! The role is about helping churches to engage more deeply with justice and embed the #JusticeSeekingChurch report. Excited! https://t.co/TDmZ1g9RY3

#EasterVigil: Little bit sacred, little bit pagan, whole lotta cathartic as we wage against sin and death over here in the back yard. If you've got some things that need to be burned away too, fill out the form, & @stickfiguregods will burn it for you. https://t.co/jlwil93sbT

Charter schools don't outperform public schools.

If they did, rich white communities would demand them. They don't.

They simply fully fund their public schools. Every public school should get that.

We should neither raise the charter cap in NYC nor bring back zombie charters.
