Letter from Ed Davey to Keir Starmer condemning Elon Musk for inciting violence and urging unity to defend democracy.

I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday.

As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.

Holy Trinity Abergavenny now following an early start at St Mary’s (before the rain started!) - always good to be here!

"Our faith is authentic when it embraces our whole life, when it becomes a criterion for our decisions, when it makes us women and men committed to doing what is right, when we take risks out of love like Jesus did (8-24-25)." #PopeLeoXIV #LiveTheGospel

Lovely morning in every way at St Tewdric’s Mathern and then St Andoenus Mounton.

Close-up of a statue of St Maximilian Kolbe, showing him with a long beard, wearing robes and holding a book

Today we remember St Maximilian Kolbe who died #onthisday in 1941, after offering his own life to save a fellow prisoner at Auschwitz-Birkenau.

He is one of ten 20th-century Christian martyrs whose statues stand above the Abbey’s Great West Door.

The Story of scripture in four phrases repeated throughout its pages:

I love you.
I am with you.
Don’t be afraid.
You can come home.

At the beautiful churches in Shirenewton and then St Pierre on a beautiful morning! And thinking about getting our priorities right…
