“Taking the Lord’s name in vain” isn’t about saying “oh my god” when you’re frustrated. It’s about using the name of Jesus to justify oppression, marginalization and violence. It’s about calling yourself a Christian without doing the work of Christ—justice, liberation and love.

It’s mad isn’t it? How we mourn the Sycamore tree and yet feel nothing for the world wide deforestation taking place every day.

Before joining Sowers of HOPE, our #farmer-focused discipleship ministry in #Rwanda, Bosco (center) was often suspended for being unable to pay school fees. Now, with an increased harvest from his agricultural training, he not only pays for his school fees, but his sister's too!

The unethical truth of net zero. Around 40,000 child slaves in Congo work in hazardous conditions in cobalt mines, with inadequate safety equipment and for very little money. The cobalt is used in many products - including electric car batteries.

This is getting nowhere near enough attention - utterly scandalous that we are talking 3rd jab boosters in the rich world, when only one in 16 have had their first jab in Africa.

Here's some good news: "In recent years, regenerative farming techniques have seen a significant growth in interest... When Groundswell started six years ago, there were just a couple of hundred attenders. This year, more than 3,500 people turned up." theguardian.com/environment/20…

Spent 4 hours sitting around being processed for "managed quarantine" at Heathrow. Please sort out the system so tired and hungry passengers can get to their quarantine hotels @TravelCTM_UK @G4S

We learn more about the society when we lose, far more than we learn when we win.

To the billionaires… instead of going to space, maybe just go skydiving, and spend your money ending extreme poverty.

Excuse me? NOT only is Matt Hancock still on £81,932 a year. But I’ve just learnt he got 16k FOR resigning. That’s more than some people I know make in a year! And he stood over the disgraceful NHS “payrise”. I can’t express my true rage, or I’d be banned from Twitter.

If cruelty was a "government." They create mass poverty & then destroy the informal sector that the people have created in order to survive. When this happened in 2005, the UN called it a crime against humanity. Here we are again. ZANU PF must go. We need new leaders.🇿🇼

Cyclone Yaas slammed into West Bengal and Bangladesh last week and wrought extraordinary destruction, almost totally unreported by Western media. 4,500 villages have been damaged, millions have been left without access to food.

It's absolutely staggering to me that a party which basically fought a referendum and a whole bunch of elections screaming about controlling our borders has, during a global pandemic, not even attempted to control our borders.

This is an exciting new campaign to get the UK government to shift to a post-growth economy that puts people and planet first. We need 100,000 signatures to trigger a major Parliamentary debate. Please sign and share: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/5806…

Great video by George Monbiot and openDemocracy on how preventing future pandemics requires rethinking economic growth.

Easter is about listening to women preach resurrection. Easter is about switching the sword for the cross. Easter is about rejecting the ways of empire and rising up for the oppressed. Easter is about paradise for the humble and power for the marginalized. Easter is hope.
