Rector of three churches in Surrey in southern England, and occasional hymn writer.
We heard the story of the massacre of the innocents, and Jesus as a refugee.

We marked VJ Day today at the war memorial. One lady asked me to read a poem written by her father, who was an officer in the Indian Army and a POW. It was found in his diary.

The news from LA made me think of this song:

I saw this sign outside a school.
Given the age of the children at the school it should be no surprise they drive slowly - I am more surprised that they can reach the pedals!
From the gravestone of Captain McAngus:
"Man's inhumanity to man makes many thousands mourn."
He died on 7 June 1944 on one of the Normandy beaches.
In Hermanville-sur-Mer I found a gravestone that uses the French revolutionary calendar. The first I have ever seen! He was born on 25 Floreal in the year V.

Jimmy Carter hoped to outlive the Guinea worm - he helped reduce the worm from 3.5m cases a year to just 14.

It is being reported as him resigning from the Church of England, which is not really accurate. Another ABC being caught up in a safeguarding failure is what makes it newsworthy.

MAGA is not the only manifestation of Christianity in the USA. Here AOC expresses a very different vision.
