Saddened to hear of the death of academic Joseph Nye. He coined the term soft power, championing it until his death. His legacy lives on, as we use soft power as a key component of our diplomatic efforts to meet some of the greatest global challenges of our time.
Joseph Nye, a Harvard professor whose ideas on the nature of power in international relations influenced generations of policymakers, academics, & students and made him one of the world’s most celebrated political thinkers, has died at the age of 88

It was a great honour to be asked by @BishopAngaelos to be a keynote speaker at this evening's #ContemporaryMartyrsDay event. Stories of persecution often go untold, but they are no less important. The media can play a vital role in telling those stories, bringing justice & hope.

It's the first week of Advent, the season of preparation for the Nativity of Christ at Christmas. Yesterday the Prime Minister welcomed Christian leaders to Downing Street, thanking them for the compassion and service they bring to communities and congregations across the UK.

On #HolocaustMemorialDay I’ve lit my candle to remember the 6 million Jews murdered by the Nazi regime and dedicate myself again to keep working for a world where we truly learn the lessons from this and other genocides.

Freedom of religion or belief is a universal human right. Today, on #EasterSunday, we remember the millions of Christians around the world who are denied that freedom. Retweet if you think everyone should be able to practise their religion or belief without fear of violence.

Today marks an important day to commemorate those who suffered and lost their lives under Nazi persecution. We must remember the victims of hate and racism so that future generations learn to promote truth and tolerance. #LightTheDarkness
