As fascists hijack Christianity to serve their political aims, it is more important than ever for actual Christians to
* Pray fervently for the renewal of the world
* Follow Jesus as Lord
* Proclaim the Good News of Godβs grace and mercy in the public square
* Be merciful
* Reject evil

... whilst exterminating its living Christians.

Excellent from Tim Goode. Not just on disability but what it means to be the body of Christ and how our buildings demonstrate that.

The government's proposed cuts to disability benefits are short-sighted and deeply harmful.
Instead of getting people into work, these cuts will push hundreds of thousands into poverty.

Adoration of the Cross this aft... & what a wonderul, life-sized Italianate crucifix at St Luke's, Clifford (nr Wetherby). Very moving to see how everyone had their own take on how they reverenced the cross. Not done this is my group of churches before as this one is further up the candle than me.

It just seems weird to me that governments can impose duties on councils without giving them the resources to fulfil them.

Gonna go out on a limb here and say Labour could 'fix' about 20% of these depression cases by IMPROVING PEOPLE'S LIVES INSTEAD OF CUTTING PUBLIC SPENDING AND WELFARE

Disability might not affect you now, but you don't know what the future holds.

May God's love unite God's people, & may you know the depth, breadth, height &depth of God's love revealed in Jesus for yourself today, whether you have a special person

Happy Valentine's Day! If you're not in a relationship today, remember that you're worthy of love, &God loves you more than you can ever imagine.
As well as today being St Valentine's Day, the Church also remembers 2 other saints: Cyril and Methodius. Their story makes it "Palentine's Day"... 1/4
