The neighborhood is where the world changes: the place where strangers become friends, where tables become bridges, and where the streets carry our celebrations.

[Simon Shaw @shawthingsimon]

I found this post so helpful in articulating why it is so important to break the silence surrounding abuse in the church and to stand with those who have taken the brave step of speaking out amidst deep pain and trauma

“Smallness is an emerging spiritual discipline for the modern leader and the microchurch is its monastery” Love this thought @BSunderground

@ASollowayUK There are many organisations working together in your constituency under the @DerbyCoS umbrella to help create a welcome for refugees and those seeking asylum. This policy breaches basic human rights policies & will have no impact on deterring people smugglers.

[Simon Shaw @shawthingsimon]

@ASollowayUK Very disappointed to hear this. Does your vote represent the view of your constituents?

[Simon Shaw @shawthingsimon]

Loved ‘a celebration for pentecost’ @sozebrad @plattchurch thoughtfully crafted, accessible and full of life - more of this programming please! @bbc1 @BBCiPlayer #PentecostSunday #Pentecost2022

[Simon Shaw @shawthingsimon]

@1SonuvaGunn much love to you Janson at this tender time. You cared for your Dad so well and demonstrated to us the stuff of eternal worth 🙏❤️

We need some Church Minimalism.

Lets pare back all the excess and pomp-n-circumstance to recover the simple beauty of people gathered around a table seeking to follow Jesus together.

[Rich Villodas @richvillodas]

Scripture is not to be read simply to locate ourselves in the story of God, but to make ourselves lovingly aware of others, locating *them* in the unique pains and challenges of life.

[Timothy Keller (1950-2023) @timkellernyc]

Never before have we had so much while feeling we have so little. 'Progress' cannot be only economic, material, and technological, though it must include that. It must also be communal, moral, and spiritual.

[Simon Shaw @shawthingsimon]

@james_ka_smith There must be some kinda way out of here, said the joker to the thief ...
