Today we pause to remember October 7 — a day of pain and loss. We pray for healing, for the release of hostages, and for lasting peace. May our prayers bring light to the darkness.

Excellent letter from the Bishop of Birmingham to Robert Jenrick.

At a time when so many other voices have been silent, the bishops have been admirably outspoken against attempts to stir up division.

The churches do a lot of community cohesion work & do not want to see this trashed for party gain.
