Thank you! 😊

Thank you! Great recipe.

No problem! I'm only vegetarian but find that a lot of what I cook is naturally vegan, or could very easily be made vegan.

In terms of this recipe, from reading the comments I chose to double the spices and stock, and added extra tomato purée.

Yes! I added a bit of butter to the couscous but you could easily leave that out. And the stew itself is vegan.

I'm so sorry. ❤️

My condolences. Smooth peanut butter is Very Wrong.

Food photography is really not my strong point, but the mix of flavours in tonight's dinner was gorgeous

Please can #FaithfullyLGBT people/allies recommend resources for my friend who is wanting to explore queer-friendly interpretations of the Bible?

Preference online, as she's in Switzerland. I've directed her to @inclusivechurch.bsky.social as a starting point.

Archbishop of Jerusalem & the Middle East shares pastoral letter in light of escalating conflict Anglican Communion News Service

Archbishop says ‘In the face of such overwhelming force, we recall the words of our Lord Jesus Christ: 'Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God' (Matt 5:9). Today, that calling feels heavier than ever before….’

A couple of night photos from 2018 and 2021. Something calming after today.

This weekend’s military escalation in the Middle East marks a dangerous moment for millions of children in the region. UNICEF is deeply concerned by reports of strikes in Iran and across the region, illustrating the grave danger for children. There are reports of schools being struck in Iran, including a girls’ school in Minab in Hormozgan province in southern Iran. Scores of students are reportedly killed and many others injured.

UNICEF echoes the call of the Secretary-General for an immediate cessation of hostilities and de-escalation. UNICEF also urges all parties to exercise maximum restraint and uphold their obligations under international humanitarian and human rights law, including the protection of civilians and the essential services children rely on to survive. Targeting civilians and civilian objects, including schools, is a violation of international law.

UNICEF, together with other UN agencies and humanitarian partners, is actively assessing the situation and stands ready to scale up support to affected children and their families as needed and requested.

Statement from Rep. Ilhan Omar on Trump’s Illegal War on Iran “President Trump is unilaterally dragging this nation into an illegal and unjustified war with Iran without congressional authorization, without a clear objective, and without any imminent threat to the United States. This is a reckless abuse of power that puts both innocent civilians and American lives on the line for a conflict the American people do not want. “As someone who has survived the horrors of war, I know that bombs do not build peace or create stability. Military strikes will not make us safer; they will inflame tensions and push the region further into chaos. When we abandon diplomacy, we choose destruction.

“We know who will bear the cost of this decision: innocent civilians caught in the crossfire and our young service members sent into harm’s way. This is the devastating human toll of another regime-change war. Already, children and families are paying with their lives. There is no moral or strategic justification for this bloodshed. “The American people are exhausted by endless wars built on false promises and paid for with American and foreign lives. Congress must reassert its constitutional authority. We must vote immediately on the War Powers resolution authored by Reps. Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie. This unlawful operation must end immediately."

Are you saying they should... throw the towel in? 🤔

Thank you! Definitely looks to be a similar style.

No idea, I'm afraid - I have very little knowledge of modern(ish) stained glass. Thanks for the info!

They are! It has since been converted into offices. Definitely all from the same place back when it was a house.

Right?!

I'll try to remember to get some photos for you when I'm next in!

It is bonkers an an office, so I can't imagine what actually living there would have been like...

Landscape: two colourful Victorian stained glass windows, with rounded tops, on a sunny day

Portrait: the left window with its two scenes: on top are knights fighting, and below a knight clasping hands with a prisoner who is being released

Portrait: the right window with its two scenes: on top knights present kneeling men with keys, and below two men (one probably a knight) row away in a small boat, watched by others

Sqaure collage of scenes from the windows, including knights with fabulous moustaches; a monk scribing; a guy in a blue hood with a fabulous white beard and moustache; a very muscular man rowing; and a couple of figures looking very done with everything

Mood of the week is: obsessed with the ridiculous Victorian stained glass windows in our new @glosdioc.bsky.social central offices. There is just... so much going on here.

Special mention to wizard!druid guy. And all the "medieval" knights with their fabulous 19th century moustaches.

I know we are no longer in Christmastide, but...

".. and man, at war with man, hears not
the love-song which they bring:
O hush the noise, ye men of strife,
and hear the angels sing."

Longing and praying for a world where people lift each other up, rather than seeking to divide and destroy.
