I’m shocked, terribly sad. Jim wrote to me just over a month ago about his illness, but he was fighting, looking forward to the release of a new book. It’s impossible to express what his work and friendship meant to me in recent years. Everything he wrote lives on and will grow.

Researchers from @MUARG1 have spent the last 18 months examining how faith spaces in @greatermcr support diverse groups of older people within their communities
"They found that faith spaces provide spiritual wellbeing, belonging + a sense of community"

"confirmed my belief in humanity", reflection from one of the co-production collaborators. Brilliant work led by @lutilang and @skyarker. Being part of the project has given me me new perspectives on faith, community and collaboration. Lots of food for thought.

Yesterday, Andy attended to the GM Faith and Belief Advisory Panel meeting to reflect on the role of faith and belief in society and endorse the GM Faith and Belief Contribution Statement.
The statement sets out the positive impact faith and belief has in communities, and for public services across Greater Manchester. Read the full Contribution Statement here ➡️ greatermanchester-ca.gov.uk/…
ALT Our statement affirms the significant role of Faith and Belief in society and the support faith organisations provide, often to the most disadvantaged, both in terms of spiritual wellbeing and practical services. This was clearly demonstrated throughout the pandemic and it continues to develop within the ongoing commitment to achieving the shared ambitions for the city-region.
