Great to meet with Francesco from MIR Italia today. We had a time of sharing fraternal greetings, the work of our branches and the importance of our collective global work for peace.

Christ is Risen! The forces of war, empire and violence cannot win. A new world built on love and nonviolence is possible.

Today is Racial Justice Sunday. Born out of pain felt at the murder of black tennage Stephen Lawrence, it is a moment of lament at the narrow perspective that racism brings and celebration of the kalediscope of people placed in this, God's Earth.

The text shown in the image:

Christ Jesus is the spirit and the truth of all the figures that have passed away, the end and fulfilment of the law of figures, but the beginning of the true substance and completeness eternally (Jn. 6:63, 14:6, Rom. 10:4). In Christ Jesus, says the apostle, is genuine substance (Eph. 4:21). In him are hid all the treasures of the wisdom and knowledge of God (Col. 2:3). Indeed, in him dwells the fullness of the Godhead bodily, and all shadows and figures are fulfilled in him.

Mennonite, Dirk Philips (1504-1568)

Is not Christ the ordinance and the end of all ordinances, who is the way, the truth, and the life? Is there any ordinances without him in the gospel? Is not he the sabbath, circumcision, baptism, the supper, &c., are not all these in him? And doth not he minister all these in spirit to everyone that comes to him? and so the shadow is come into the substance, the end of all shadows, which is life indeed…

Quaker, James Nayler (1618-1660)

The Historic Peace Churches, Mennonites and Quakers, share the same basic spiritual DNA. The former coming from the radical wing of the European Reformation, and the latter from the radical wing of English Puritanism.

Powerful prayers for peace last night. Liddy from Christian CND helped us focus on nuclear weapons. We were also unexpectedly joined by IFOR President Zoughbi Zoughbi who helped us reflect on what the ICC rulings mean.

ICC issues arrest warrant for Benjamin Netanyahu for alleged Gaza war crimes www.theguardian.com/world/2024/n... This is long overdue. Time for governments purporting to uphold international law to step up.
