Churches said from the outset that the Rwanda policy was immoral, a denial of the UK’s responsibilities and of the rights and dignity of refugees. Now we’ve had confirmation from the Supreme Court that it is also illegal. Good.

The new migration bill passed by the UK Parliament violates the country’s international human rights and refugee law obligations. High Commissioner for Human Rights @volker_turk and I share grave concerns in this respect. Here is our joint statement👇🏻 unhcr.org/news/press-rel…

When numerical growth is taken as the criterion of judgment on the church, we are transported with alarming ease into the world of the military campaign or the commercial sales drive.

This is what #disabled Christians are dealing with at the moment, when we speak out on justice in decisions about Covid restrictions. I want abled Christian allies to speak out against this and to stand up for us & justice. Tell *your* #church to keep disabled/CEV/older ppl safe.

An estimated six million people in the UK have fallen behind on one or more household bill as a result of Covid-19, with the biggest increases in debt amongst the poorest households. That’s why I’m supporting the call to #ResetTheDebt. Read more here: resetthedebt.uk

Imagine reading a Book that begins in a garden, centers around a garden, ends with a garden, and coming to the conclusion that this planet is "disposable". We also are stewards. Did you not know?

Mission is not a detachable part of the Church’s being, but is the central meaning of the Church’s being.

The mission of the church is missions; the mission of missions is the church.

How my heart aches for a chance to engage in authentic gathered worship. For *me* that means singing the praises of God together as a key part, not just prayers, sermon and reflective music. Although your mileage may vary. #Maranatha. #HealThisLand

When the Church ceases to be missionary, it contradicts its own nature.
