I welcome the statement from the House of Bishops on Gaza. 'As Bishops we are compelled to state clearly and unequivocally that the death, suffering and destruction being inflicted on Gaza is a grave sin that violently assaults God-given human dignity and the very integrity of God’s creation.'

The world has finally totally given up on Gaza and will permit Israel to conduct its final erasure project. Between Trump’s chaotic, strategy-free flailing around and Europe’s paralysed waiting for a good idea to pop up, Gaza has been abandoned. This will be to everyone’s eternal shame. #fastforgaza

"To the children, men and women suffering unimaginably – Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, and the Israeli hostages – we say this: We are sorry. We will not give up our call to end this. We will not stop until it stops." Amen

We have evidence of mass forced hunger. We have evidence of mass forced displacement. We have evidence of mass killings. We have evidence of mass atrocities. Stop all UK support for Israel's violence in Gaza. Stop all UK arms exports to Israel immediately. www.quaker.org.uk/news-and-eve...

The siege of Gaza has been enforced for 70+ days and the suffering of the people is appalling. Please fast for Gaza as a simple but powerful campaign to tell politicians and leaders that we need action. End the siege and get food and supplies into Gaza to save the people. Use #fastforgaza and share.

When a people is being starved, children die first. Israel is intent on wiping out the children in Gaza. It is killing a whole generation of children first using this method. If this isn’t stopped in the coming critical days we are going to see horrors the like of which we have not ever seen.

Fascinating to see search dogs training in @stpetermancroft.org.uk Charles, the springer spaniel, inspecting the pews, and Rosie, the fox red Labrador, indicating a find. Explosives had been concealed in the sedilia. You can make up your own joke about the nature of our preaching. #CofE #WorkingDogs

No aid has entered Gaza in 2 months 🚨 Since 2/3/25 Israel has blocked all aid from entering Gaza. The people in Gaza are desperate. Food prices have soared up to 1400% compared to during the ceasefire. One of the only protein sources available, eggs now cost up to £36 a dozen.

“To the Israeli authorities, and those who can still reason with them, we say again: lift this brutal blockade. Let humanitarians save lives.” Tom Fletcher. Meanwhile USA State department says there’s no obligation on Israel to get aid into Gaza to feed starving people. The end of civilisation.

I can't tell you how exciting it is to find this in our city centre churchyard. It's hedgehog poo! We've also found crushed snail shells. We have a hedgehog, perhaps more than one. @stpetermancroft.org.uk #EcoChurch

Reading We Are Not Numbers (WANN) Ahmed , who edited it contributed to a week on Iona. It is beautiful and devastating in equal measure. The yearning of young people for a life free from fear, from war, from oppression. WANN arose after the 2014 attack on Gaza, the third war as the book opens.

Mercy and joy. Hard to think of a better legacy. 'Pope Francis always placed the Gospel of mercy at the center, repeatedly emphasizing that God never tires of forgiving us. He always forgives, whatever the situation might be of the person who asks for forgiveness and returns to the right path.'

I was honoured to win the @curlewaction.bsky.social poetry prize; all the winning poems and artwork, and more about their great work, is on their website. Here’s the full poem, which I wrote about the presumed extinction of the Slender-billed Curlew. 🪶 #naturewriting #poetry

Everyday - as faithful a friend. Leaning in to suffering and helplessness. Everyday Pope Francis called the congregation in #Gaza. Who now will speak for peace, for justice, for mercy? m.youtube.com/watch?v=bwWV...

Deeply saddened to hear this news. Laudato Si is a book I keep returning to. High office inevitably brings conflicted interests, but he seemed a deeply impressive man. May he rest in peace and rise in glory. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cr...

Easter joy breaks from Jerusalem even in midst of the all that is so destructive. The resurrection is given to us not as a comfort but as a calling to strive for all that is for life and peace.

36 members of the Board of Deputies of British Jews have signed an open letter protesting Israel’s actions in Gaza and the West Bank. They say they ‘cannot turn a blind eye or remain silent’ any longer. It’s worth reading in full.

I am grateful to the House of Bishops for this statement on the 5th attack on the Al Ahli hospital since October 7th 2023. Has @ukgovernment.bsky.social @fcdoinclusion.bsky.social commented yet? Where is our commitment to upholding international law? There is no justification for targeting hospitals

A statement on the missile attack on the Anglican-run Ahli Hospital in Gaza

submitted 50 days ago • 0 comments

The videos of the evacuation of the Anglican Al Ahli hospital in Gaza, & the photos of the aftermath of the Israeli bombing, are unbearable. Having walked that compound, met the staff, prayed in St Philip’s church (in photo) 3 days before this war started, raised funds, my heart goes out to them.

Lovely to join the Liberal Jewish Community for their Passover Seder this evening, and to affirm with them that no one is free until we are all free. Thankful for their hospitality and their friendship.

I totally condemn the Israeli missile attack on the Anglican run Al Ahli hospital in Gaza in the early hours of this morning. The last functioning hospital in Gaza City, this was a place of healing and sanctuary. My Palm Sunday ‘hosanna’ is now a desperately sad and muted one. Lord, have mercy.

I have written letters and sent emails, but the silence from the @ukgovernment.bsky.social is deafening. It is past time to act to release the hostages and end the atrocities in Gaza. @labourlewis.bsky.social @10dowingstreet.bsky.social @fcdoinclusion.bsky.social @teamlabouruk.bsky.social
