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.
