Our silence seethes instead with wraiths and whispers,
And all the restless rumour of new wars,
The shells are falling all around our vespers,
No moment is unscarred, there is no pause,

When we read psalms that don't reflect our personal current reality (psalms of lament, anger, etc), don't skip them. Those are words of many around the world & become opportunities to intercede.

Hello, I’m a minister in a TV drama. At any given moment you’ll find me in an empty church moving around hymnbooks. (On a sunny day I might even venture into the graveyard.) I’ll also display an astonishing lack of knowledge of anything biblical, theological, or ecclesiastical.

Honoured to speak with @VP @KamalaHarris today. I thanked her & President @JoeBiden for their commitment to @WHO & global health. I am also grateful to the new administration for advancing women's health & #ClimateAction. We look forward to continuing the 🇺🇸 & WHO partnership.
