As we pray this night, for the Church of England and all who have been subject to abuse by and within it.
power and privilege should seek humility not ego. Non of this easy, but only by being open, honest and transparent about the harm that has occured can healing begin and the church honestly and earnestly seek to live out Christ on earth.
The Church of England needs transparency concerning it's workings, particularly those of Safeguarding, where failure seems to prevelent.
Additionally in seeking to be a reflection of God, of Christ those in positions of authority,
"Nothing is covered up that will not be uncovered, and nothing secret that will not become known. 3 Therefore whatever you have said in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have whispered behind closed doors will be proclaimed from the housetops."

"Peace is not the product of terror or fear. Peace is not the silence of cemeteries. Peace is not the silent result of violent repression. Peace is the generous, tranquil contribution of all to the good of all. Peace is dynamism. Peace is generosity. It is right and it is duty."
Oscar Romero
It is not scapegoating or persecution when you are held responsable for you action or inaction. True repentance and forgiveness requires us to see the reality of the situation, not how we wish it to be. All can be forgiven but only if they seek humility.

If they sincerely care about dying people, surely now they will publicly & urgently commit to properly funding our threadbare, neglected palliative care?
