The International Court of Justice has made clear that Israel’s presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territories is unlawful and needs to end rapidly. The State of Israel has been denying the Palestinian people dignity, freedom and hope. Read my statement here:

Joint statement from UK faith leaders. We salute the many people working to restore their neighbourhoods and pledge to work with government and all sections of society towards a constructive and compassionate dialogue on immigration and social cohesion. archbishopofcanterbury.org/news/news-and-…

THIS is the difference between peaceful climate protest heroes and rioting and violent fascist thugs They are on different planets, but both are burning juststopoil.org/2024/08/07/jus…

It is NOT enough for the Israeli military to repeat endlessly that it is targeting Hamas as it attacks school-shelters. It still has a legal duty to refrain from attacks that cause disproportionate harm to civilians. Such attacks are war crimes. trib.al/o1kjx3P

"Let me say clearly now to Christians that they should not be associated with any far-right group, because those groups are unchristian. Let me say clearly now to other faiths...that we denounce people misusing such imagery as fundamentally antichristian." theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

The Israelis are eliminating one of the last Christian Palestinians strongholds in the West Bank and the place I chose to stay when I was researching the Palestinian Christians in From the Holy Mountain. It is a place with an incredibly ancient history, a cradle of Christianity,

Wow.

Hi Dr C Naylor Davis could you be in touch with me about inviting you to speak at Cafe Theologique in Reading please? Thanks

Excellent piece by christinalamb on Israeli settlers running amok in the West Bank, accelerating their murder and dispossession of the indigenous Palestinians thetimes.com/article/c47df6…

It’s wild that Kirstie Allsop’s 15 year old son is supposedly far too young to travel without parental supervision And at the same time Shamima Begum was such an adult at 15 she can now be stripped of her citizenship Make it make sense?

This must come or, better, we should raise money through tax. An educated population is a public good (how many rioters had A-levels or degrees?). UK HE is being subsidised by International students - esp unfair for Africans: a new colonialism. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

St Gargoyle's retires from Church Times . Glad they picked one of my all-time favourite cartoons.

Leafing through Church Times I find my wife shortlisted for green award...

This #FairtradeFortnight, we're asking you to #BeTheChange to make trade fair ✊ And this year is extra special because we are celebrating 30 years of Fairtrade in the UK 🎉 But what is Fortnight? And how can you #BeTheChange this year? bit.ly/3ASNo8V

I think I should share stories that bring a (good) tear to my eye more often as well as the things that.make me angry!

Just cycled past our local avenue of ancient trees: Giant Redwood (I think) amidst the line of cedars struck by lightning last Saturday simply exploded.

Glad to be back at my pre-semester retreat at Mucknell Abbey @mucknell

Some food for thought... What if we could see emissions? Would it change what we eat? Data: (greenhouse gas emissions per kg of food product) Steak = 129.75kg Lentils = 2.54kg Beans = 1.37kg Chickpeas = 1.34kg Tofu = 1.02kg See full dataset: ourworldindata.org/environmental-…

It was a privilege to meet and pray with some of our Palestinian Christian sisters and brothers at Lambeth Palace yesterday. Thank you Pastor Munther Isaac, Dalia Qumsieh and Mays Nassar. I praise God for the steadfastness of Palestinian Christians in the face of occupation,

Wonderful. Of all the memes coming my way (does X think I am American?) this is the best...
