I'm a vicar in a small rural village. I could never say this to my flock because of the outcry, but Reform are blatantly opposed to genuine Christian values and it's clear that anyone considering voting for them has not been listening to a single word I say each week
@ruthh.bsky.social or @al-barrett.bsky.social might be able to help?
Exploding Kittens?
Herd Mentality?
Interesting to see the biggest jump is in under 30s.
Ian McKellen performs “The Strangers’ Case” speech from “Sir Thomas More” on Colbert.
Also my Christian clergy peeps, I’d be WILDLY grateful if you were game to share this on your colleague /denomination listservs / FB groups / slacks / whatever since every year it seems like nobody knows it exists?
🙏🥺💕
Lets also talk about Nigel Farage appearing in the Epstein Files 43 times, lets do that too.
A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.
A few days ago, I stood in the graveyard of an 1100 year old church, getting damper and damper in the drizzling rain.
A woman walked into the graveyard, waved, said hello, and, as we had previously arranged, handed me a paper bag full of human bones.
The life of a churchwarden is a strange one...
Help us make hope normal again.

What makes this campaign powerful is not what it explains, but what it reveals.

1995...I'm hoping it's on the 'burn this' pile rather than passing on?!
Just 0.001% hold three times the wealth of poorest half of humanity, report finds.
This is obscene.
That others in politics can’t or won’t say that this is obscene hits at the heart of the problems we face.
We are the 99.999%.
Tax the super rich.

I came here to say exactly this! Popsy dinosaur clothes rock!
Word of the day is ‘quockerwodger’ (19th century): a puppet politician whose strings are pulled entirely by someone else.
The ex-Reform leader in Wales has been sentenced to ten-and-a-half years in prison for taking pro-Russia bribes
Nathan Gill's "sophisticated" activity was a "grave betrayal" of public trust, a judge said on Friday
Lib Dem leader Ed Davey said Nigel Farage's party is a "danger to national security"
Has Nigel Farage or Zia Yusuf remembered who Nathan Gill is yet?

Have been thinking about “immigration has been tearing this country apart.” Surely I’m not the only person to think that it isn’t true, but inflamed rhetoric about immigration by politicians is what is tearing this country apart and so statements like that only makes it worse.
A Government of cowards.
Rather than tackle inequality - they've gone for pensioners, disabled people and now it's people fleeing war and persecution.
They can't get away with this.

This is the logical consequence of Labour’s appeasement of the far right - this is an arms race Labour should never seek to win
Mahmood furious over asylum seeker taxi bills.
Overton window has been obliterated
The Labour Government reeling off the same far-right talking points on immigration. And look who is celebrating. The far-right.
There is a political alternative that won’t ever scapegoat those fleeing war, persecution and torture

And I think the 'wide green leaves' is ivy too with the flowers. Getting false ivy leaves is easy but not so sure about versions with berries or flowers.
Yellowish mini flowers is alchemilla mollis (lady's mantle)
The one with berries is ivy I think
I have a very bad feeling about this...
“That because of God, Love wins. No matter what can be done to say or stop it. No matter how fancy the theology to disguise a prejudice. And love comes in many shapes and sizes.”

Whether you’re a believer or not, today’s sermon from the Dean of Southwark Cathedral on sexuality, love, acceptance and how badly wrong much of the C of E is going on the topic is compelling viewing youtu.be/LLM_J8YH8Fk?...

A Pharisees Flowchart It starts with the question "Should I call this person a Pharisee?" The only path to "Then it's probably safe," is "Did the person live in or before the first century CE? Yes," "Was the person actually a Pharisee? Yes," and "Are you using the word as an insult? No." All other paths end in "Then please don't call them a Pharisee."
Here's a very helpful flowchart I nabbed from a recent book of essays, "Judeophobia and the New Testament." I hope it helps.
This.
