Give us wisdom to see the other person

as you see them;

the love to overcome our fears

and the strength to follow your Son

who bore no arms but a cross

and offered his enemies no harm but love.

Amen

Remembering Norman Kember.

The Fellowship was deeply sad to hear of the recent death of Norman Kember. We uphold his memory, the memory of his wife Pat and his whole family in prayer as they hold a service of thanksgiving for him today.

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.
