@BenPBradshaw @CestNickell @churchofengland Please do! We'd be happy to talk to you at The Campaign for Equal Marriage in the CofE about next steps

[Stephen O'Connor @soconn01]

@BenPBradshaw @churchofengland Please don't leave the Church Ben. Campaign with us to ensure that if the Church cannot, or will not truly accept that LGBTQI+ folk are fully equal, then Parliament will make it comply, by removing its exceptions from the Equality and Equal Marriage Acts. EQUAL means EQUAL!

[Stephen O'Connor @soconn01]

@JPerumbalath Yes. Praying for you all and hoping that if approved, these are merely the preliminaries for full inclusion of LGBTQI+ into all of the sacraments of the church. Anything less than this is less than radical inclusion.

[Stephen O'Connor @soconn01]

@GabriellaSwerl @PennyMordaunt If the Bishops do not want Parliament to take over and legislate on the issue as they surely must and will eventually, then the bishops must act decisively in favour of that radical inclusion which was promised to us soon!

[Stephen O'Connor @soconn01]

@bishopnorwich @churchofengland Praying for you all!

[Stephen O'Connor @soconn01]

@ceecuk God's best for society and individuals is not marriage between a man and a woman surely? Isn't it Jesus Christ? And isn't he love in all its perfection? Methinks you put marriage on an idolatrous pedestal!

[Stephen O'Connor @soconn01]

@BenPBradshaw @churchofengland @churchstate Thank you Ben. Please do help is to change things. The status quo is unacceptable!

[Stephen O'Connor @soconn01]

Time now for the CofE to take the same courageous step! https://t.co/rnifH1kBeV

A superb resource for those wanting to talk about wishes and preferences at the end of life. https://t.co/F6R5gGZMOp via @sharethis

@CConcern - this is not Christian Concern... this is racist bigotry! Shame on you!

[Stephen O'Connor @soconn01]

@clairehenry_ Dear Claire, love your phrase start where you are, use what you have, do what you can. May I use it in my EOLC PD work?

[Stephen O'Connor @soconn01]

Only 40% of dying patients' family members have their spiritual needs assessed, and only 28% their cultural needs! https://t.co/JBbOOJk8fu

[Stephen O'Connor @soconn01]

If hospitals need a lay board member with responsibility for EOLC why is there no minister for EOLC in the DoH? https://t.co/SSCvRm5XfA

[Stephen O'Connor @soconn01]

Only 66% of dying patients have the full range of their needs assessed in hospital. We still have a long way to go! https://t.co/ByifjrB7Dr

[Stephen O'Connor @soconn01]

Only 56% of those closest to dying patients are asked what their needs are. EOLC navigator roles are badly needed! https://t.co/vgnwgwDHus

[Stephen O'Connor @soconn01]

It is unacceptable that only 37% of acute trusts have face to face palliative care support available 9-5pm Mon-Sun! https://t.co/xRRSxIfy6x

[Stephen O'Connor @soconn01]

Why do less than half of acute NHS Trusts still have no lay board members with responsibility for end of life care? https://t.co/WveGuJbQH8
