The Methodist Church receives with deep sadness the news of the death of His Holiness Pope Francis, and gives thanks for his life and Christian witness.
We pray that he may rest in peace and rise in glory.

Today we commemorated the 7th anniversary of Finsbury Park attack to remember Makram Ali who lost his life and other worshippers who were injured by the attack, our communities in Islington still stand united against hate & that is down to local people leading & showing the way.

As a Jew, I have become increasingly worried that the charge of antisemitism is being levelled to silence legitimate and important debate. Antisemitism is on the rise, but there is also a rise in the unscrupulous use of the term to silence reasonable questions about the Israeli government’s actions in Gaza. This article in the Harvard Crimson by Jewish community leader Bernie Steinberg warns of incipient McCarthyism. It is worth reading, whichever side of the debate you are on thecrimson.com/article/2023/…

I’d hope to see more Methodist leaders lending their support to this. The Church of England is our Covenant partner. This appallingly myopic Consistory Court decision sullies that partnership, as indeed it does the Christian Church as a whole…

Any notion that this is a “Church of England matter” and that the ecumenically appropriate thing is for us to “stay out of it” is bogus: it is precisely because of our sororal relationship that this is all our concern.
