Sudan is facing brutal conflict, and indifference from the world. Where is the funding? Where is the accountability? We call on all with influence to step up. My statement: bit.ly/4jH3xyZ

This is going to be so interesting with a wide variety of contributors. I'm speaking Sunday am alongside Farhana Mayer on how Islam & Christianity emphasise the interconnectedness of creation & call us to take care of God’s world. Do come and join us! stethelburgas.org/spiritual-ecol…

If you're wanting to follow and try to make sense of what is happening with #Israel and #Iran, this is a helpful piece to read. (I hope the link takes you past the account wall, apologies if not.) nytimes.com/2025/06/13/opi…

Every ingredient in my gorgeously colourful lunch is from my local organic veg box, the local foodwaste scheme UKHarvest or my garden (except the mustard and balsamic vinegar in the dressing and the butter). Now that makes me happy and the food taste even more delicious! 🙂💚

Trump is either deliberately lying or he doesn't know what he's doing and is making it up from one day to the next. I can't decide which it is, but do know we're following the way of madness

It's been inspiring at the National Prayer Breakfast, worshipping together & hearing from Prof John Lennox. An excellent reminder of the vital place of the Christian faith in public life & of our call to serve and bring our hope-filled values, whoever & wherever we are #nppb2025

Nearly 50 people killed today in #Gaza trying to access food. Do I need to say that again? Have we taken that in? How is this allowed to continue?

Hi friends, a question to help me with some writing I'm doing - what are the main issues that you're concerned about right now (local, national or global)?

Thank you Giles Clarke, for your powerful interview w/ @Amanpour and for showing us the brutal consequences of Sudan’s war through your images. Starvation, displacement, and civilian suffering on a staggering scale — this crisis demands global attention. cnn.com/2025/06/13/Tv/…

In case you're interested or it's helpful, this is my current reading. I reckon it gives a pretty good glimpse into my life right now.... Any look interesting to you?

The hottest June day on record in the UK & southern Europe in the 40s. This is a #ClimateCrisis . Amidst all our other challenges, we mustn't lose sight of the urgent need to take #ClimateAction . Every action counts and every fraction of a degree matters.

And so the horror continues... Schools, a cafe, a hospital, homes... How is it possible to live in a world where we watch this day after day and it continues unchecked? theguardian.com/world/2025/jun…

On my recent trip to Israel and the West Bank I was pleased also to go to Jordan to meet Christians working to tackle the deep environmental crises facing the Middle East. It was fascinating and inspiring and I hope you'll enjoy reading this. embraceme.org/blog/the-chris…

Today we are mourning the death of Dr Ahmad Attallah Qandil, an experienced surgeon working at our partner Al Ahli Hospital in Gaza. Dr Ahmad was killed yesterday by Israeli forces as he was coming home from a hospital shift. We continue to call for an immediate ceasefire. 🙏
