Sitting with a prayer for a season brings all sorts of gifts. As a place shaped by a common life, where we strive for inclusivity, this prayer by Canon Sarah Jones has been a blessing on us in the last few weeks.

Today in chapel the Westcott community held a vigil for Ukraine and Russia to mark the Third Anniversary of Russian Invasion of Ukraine, praying for all who strive for peace and who fight for justice, remembering the cost of war and asking God to help us work for a better tomorrow.

Some years ago I worked out it was still light in London at 5pm by the end of January - this may have been the single most hopeful and encouraging bit of knowledge I have ever worked out by myself!

Someone who had a big influence on me at a crucial point in my life died by suicide. One never knows why, but they appear to have thought that the world would be better off without them. It was rubbish (& it haunts a lot of people to this day). I worry abt anything that makes suicide more thinkable.

There are many layers here, but I want to comment on one aspect of these findings for now--the editorial board representation. Some will see this and immediately think: we need to get more POC on our boards! I understand that impulse, but encourage you to think a few steps down the game tree 1/n.

Dear media, 4 key points keep being ignored in coverage of Get Britain Working/Welfare reform: 1. Stop asking 'where's the stick?' We've had YEARS of stick. Making people ever more scared, hungry, cold & in debt just pushes them further away from work, health & support. 1/3

I can't now remember who on here recommended this article (I had the tab open for days before I read it) but it's a good, short read, with plenty to take for those of of us working in theological education (and no doubt other fields too). asmepublications.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....
