PhD in plant sci, now educational developer in Med school. A community 'activist' and a Methodist, see no tension between religion & science, and I like beer!

How does this idea of love play out with JD Vance and @jtworr who think love is confined to 'our own'? Rachel Man @BBCRadio4 #ThoughtForTheDay quoted Kolbe 'love lives through sacrifice - w'out sacrifice there is no love'. More 'sacrificial', less bullying leadership needed now?
Today is the Feast of St. Maximilian Maria Kolbe OFM Conv., the Apostle of Consecration to Mary, founder of Militia Immaculatae, Martyr of Charity, who died in Auschwitz, volunteering to die in the place of Franciszek Gajowniczek, a man with a wife and children. Ora pro nobis

As a member of @MethodistGB I support this statement, noting the appaling loss of life over last 18 months, the restrictions on aid getting into Gaza, and the unchecked and illegal settlements continuing to displace Palestinians in the West Bank @LancsFaiths
The President and Lay Leader have issued a statement on behalf of the Methodist Church in Ireland on the Gaza humanitarian situation. → Read the statement in full here:

Here’s a clip of Sacha Baron Cohen's ‘The Dictator’ (2012), an eerily spot-on portrayal of Trump’s America.

Duly 'ashen'; great that canon James Lawrenson was officiating. 'Remember that you are dust and to dust you shall return; turn away from sin and be faithful to Christ'. Some such humility needed from world leaders @timothy_stanley @MethodistGB @LancsCitizens @BpBlackburn

👏 Thank you @mayaellisuk for pledging to vote for the #CANBill on Friday 24 January! I’m proud to know that my MP is championing the joined-up, science-led legislation we urgently need—the Climate and Nature Bill. Is your MP on board?
zerohour.uk
On Friday 24 January, together, we CAN make history by progressing the Climate and Nature Bill over its pivotal Second Reading vote. But we need as many MPs as possible ...
