Sometimes when we see it the least, God is doing the most.

[Dr Krish Kandiah OBE @krishk]

The good news is the government will continue free school meals over the summer. Well done to @MarcusRashford
The bad news is @DFID_UK and @foreignoffice are to merge. The good news is that we keep our 0.7% commitment to care for the world's poor.
That's a lot of news...

"Where we find difficulty we may always expect that a discovery awaits us." -C.S. Lewis

Probably an obvious one, but 'passion', in and out of Christian theology, originally meant 'suffering' (from the Latin 'pati', to suffer). To have compassion is to 'suffer with' someone; to feel their pain as your own.

Just what is Pentecost? And is it still relevant today?

This latest blog explores just some of the lessons that we can take for this time from this significant day

"The smallest good act today is the strategic point from which, months later, you may be able to go on to victories you never dreamed of." -C.S. Lewis

[Provocate @WeProvocate]

With so much baking going on, it seems like a good time to explore ‘what does daily bread look like?’

What lessons can we learn from the Israelites’ journey for these difficult times?

Today we’re celebrating all the churches that have made huge changes in the last few weeks, to respond to their community’s needs (both physical and spiritual), and adapt to new tools. Well done!!! (And keep going- you’ve got this) 🥰 #SundayThoughts #digitalchurch #COVID19

[Dr Krish Kandiah OBE @krishk]

There's never been an easier time to go to church.
My piece for the @thetimes today.

[Tearfund @Tearfund]

'It is encouraging to see the number of people in the UK praying during such a challenging time. Our experience at Tearfund is that prayer and practical action go hand-in-hand, and are both crucial ways of responding.' – @ruthvalerio

[Provocate @WeProvocate]

Truly beautiful #TheUKBlessing

[The Church of England @churchofengland]

At this difficult and challenging time, over 65 churches and movements, representing hundreds of others, have come together online to sing #TheUKBlessing.

Watch the song in full: https://t.co/bZDWyEZp4Q

[Provocate @WeProvocate]

Could we use this time of change to be inspired about a new way of doing church?

This blog takes some inspiration from the desert to help keep going, and keep going with the change, not against
