Thanking everyone who attended our Christians in Politics (Leeds) gathering at the end of September where we heard @CllrSamFirth interviewed @cllr_dan_cohen re: how his Jewish Faith impacts his politics. See words and reflections along with some snap shot pics. @NormaCKH

Nehemiah's example is so helpful as we think about restoring our broken cities, boroughs and towns.
What can you relate to in this example for your place?

The Lib Dems are hosting conference fringe events about the threat Christians supposedly pose to other people’s rights.
Meanwhile, they’ve admitted in court to unlawfully discriminating against @DavidCampanale over his Christian beliefs.
The call is coming from inside the house

I've written for @Theosthinktank on community spaces, high streets & why Andy Burnham is right about betting shops and in the process, educated my whole team on what a potbank is. Next up: oatcakes. theosthinktank.co.uk/comment…

Look at the cross-party civility, @David_Cameron urging his colleagues to get to their feet. This is what makes British democracy so fine: we must treasure & defend it.

The former DUP leader Jeffrey Donaldson has been found guilty of historical sex offences. A professing Christian, his crimes demand a serious response from the Church, says David Smyth

Being a dad is my greatest joy.
Today, I’m thinking about my dad, and the father I am to my children because of him.
Happy Father’s Day.

After four years as director, I'm moving on from @ChrLeft this summer. If you've ever thought you'd like to apply for this mad, brilliant, unique job of mine, I'd be very happy to chat about it. Details here: w4mpjobs.org/JobDetails.aspx…

I am appalled at the politically motivated prosecution and sentence handed down to Jimmy Lai in Hong Kong, following his National Security trial. This is an affront to freedom of speech and to China’s commitments made under the Sino-British Joint Declaration.
I join the UK Government in calling on Hong Kong’s authorities to release Jimmy Lai and end his ordeal. China must know that the world is watching - we stand with Jimmy Lai and the people of Hong Kong.

I was up bright and early to visit @RoyalMail's #Wetherby Delivery Office, getting to grips with how our Posties work tirelessly to ensure we get our cards and pressies in time for Christmas:

Really positive to be at 'A City Summit for Change', looking at what we can all do support people who are homeless and/or rough sleeping.

Great to have so many partners across the City, the Council, Health and third sector. – at Leeds, England

'A Church that sets no limits to love, that knows no enemies to fight but only men and women to love, is the Church that the world needs today.' - Dilexit Te pulls no punches on how this love, esp. extended to the poor and migrants, is the heart of the faith 🔥

Whenever Christianity is co-opted to support violence, misogyny or racism it loses its very soul. Here’s the letter I & a group of friends wrote over the last few days, was signed by senior church leaders across denominations & published by The Sunday Times & Sunday Mirror today.
