I would like that today we may together begin to build a culture of reconciliation. We must meet one another, heal our wounds, and forgive the wrongs we did and did not do, but whose effects we still carry. There are no enemies — only brothers and sisters. What we need are gestures and policies of reconciliation.

In the face of hatred and violence, what can we Christians do? First of all, we must pray. It is up to us to turn every tragic news story and image that touches us into a cry of intercession to God. Then, we must help others. But there is more—there is witness, our call to remain faithful to Jesus, who conquered evil by loving from the cross.

This was Pope Francis’s last public appearance. His final gesture of love for the Church was the Urbi et Orbi blessing with which Catholics celebrate the Resurrection on Easter. Let us listen to his words and pray for the eternal repose of our shepherd.

Society is built on an intricate web of relationships, held together by trust. Without trust progress slows, frustration sets in & relationships crumble. And when relationships fail, everything else fails too. Promises made & promises kept form the very fabric of social cohesion!

Jimmy Carter's strong faith was expressed in actions as well as words throughout his life. In an era of global conflict he was a tireless advocate for peace and human rights. We thank God for his humility, determination and service. May he rest in peace and rise in glory.

Our annual St John's carol service tonight was a great way of celebrating the season with music and readings all in the wonderful surrounds of the Bablake church. Well done to all musicians and readers.

Our annual Community Carol Service took place in Coventry's historic Cathedral. 5 local primary schools - @RavensdalePS, @BalsallCommonPS @gfprimarycov , @EarlsdonPrimary and @StAugCPS - joined us in celebrating. Each school performed and gave readings to a packed congregation.

In these deeply divided times, Coventry gives me hope. I can’t imagine how it must’ve felt after an air raid there in 1940 killed over 500 people and destroyed 4,000 homes, as well as the medieval cathedral. Yet today, it is known as a beacon of forgiveness and reconciliation.

A🧵for All Saints. The feasts of All Saints and All Souls are intrinsically linked. I can never think of one without being aware of the other. They speak of a deep seated equality that is at the heart of the gospel.

As a new government forms, let us be bold in presenting the Christian narrative for human well-being, a narrative that is rooted in Christ and makes no sense without him; let us pray for our King and government and our new Prime Minister. @synod @churchofengland

Eternally in their debt. This week's blog is about former @BablakeSchool pupil, Bernard Taunton, who was killed 80 years ago during the Normandy Landings. tumblr.com/bablake/752525389… “Remember these, your brothers ... giving up their lives that others might live in freedom.”
