Absolutely devastating accounts coming from our colleagues in India at the moment. Lord, have mercy. #COVID19India #COVID19
#PrayForIndia 🙏
More than 200,000 lives have been lost to the pandemic in India. Across the country, hospitals are overrun and oxygen supplies are falling short of demand.
Please stand with us and pray for our sisters and brothers in India.

Good meeting this morning with @LGBTLabourLDN. I oppose conversion therapy and support the proposed ban. We agreed that faith groups have done amazing work supporting communities in the pandemic.

Would have been good for @Keir_Starmer's team to check facts with the UK's most prominent black Church before hanging them out to dry. Disappointing. premierchristianity.com/we-d…

30y ago on Easter Sunday I was invited to NTCoG Mile End, and gave my life to Christ! It was not a quiet affair! Chairs were scraped back, Mothers with blankets came running to protect me, @NigPat prayed with me, and God turned my life around! Hallelujah🙌🏾#ressurectionsunday

Fiona Bruce MP tells @williamcrawley that next Summer the UK will host an international conference on freedom of religion or Belief. The UK government, she says, is treating this as high priority: "Working with like minded other countries we can do so much more".

Wise words from @NigPat, referencing @AnthonyGReddie's Is God Colour-Blind?

He should of course have been honoured. It’s not too late. But @JohnSentamu is too big a man to lie awake at night fretting over why he hasn’t (yet) been ennobled. theguardian.com/uk-news/2020…
