Seen at our local Methodist Church. I love it! All churches and charities should cherish and support their volunteers, involving them in decision-making and respecting psychological contracts. Not treating them as second-class paid staff. Not dumping them suddenly when 'inconvenient'. #CofEPeeps

It’s hard to convince people that a God they can’t see loves them when a church that they can see doesn’t seem to even like them.

Last week, the Trump administration told the New York Times that they will destroy $10 million of contraceptives, because they “no longer supply abortifacient birth control”.
The catch? There is no such thing as “abortifacient birth control.”
This is disinformation and must be called out.
