The resolution we all need to make is to be a person of peace. That’s my great hope for the world in 2024. That’s what I want for myself.

Easily sorted. A Bill can be rushed through Parliament to declare that any number of undecided asylum cases below 100,000 counts as zero. In political jargon we’re learning to call this the Rwanda manoeuvre. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-6…
Government's asylum figures show uncleared backlog

My prayer is that we may see each other as one humanity. Across whatever divides there are between us, may we seek to work, walk and pray together. You might like to listen my New Year’s Day reflection on @PremierRadio at around 8.20am. premier.plus/christmas-2023/…

On #MaundyThursday, Jesus shows us and tells us that our place is at the feet of others. For the God of Heaven and Earth kneels before us and washes our feet. Because this is what God is like. God comes among us not to be served, but to serve.

Lovely photo of our amazing ⁦@bishopSarahM⁩ giving the dismissal after Maundy Thursday Chrism Mass at St Paul’s cathedral. How can anyone in ⁦@churchofengland⁩ doubt she is truly called to be a leader and bishop in God’s church? In Christ there is no male & female..

Wonderful to be with colleagues and friends at @StPaulsLondon today for our Chrism Mass. @bishopSarahM reminding us that we are called to wash the feet of others, to stand strong in faith and to know God in the silence. I’m forgiven, refreshed and ready for this next season!
