I've spent these months since Nat's death trying to understand where we are and what the future might look like. I'm not sure how far I have got. Something which has been clear is that I want to do something positive inspired by Nat

We’re pleased to see the inclusion of death and grief in the updated guidance for RHSE lessons in schools.
However, it's important that teachers and education professionals have the confidence and easy access to high quality resources as an integral part of their training.

🧠 How can a Freedom of Religion or Belief lens enrich RE teaching in primary schools?
Our free FoRB e-Learning course equips teachers to integrate FoRB into rich, thoughtful classroom practice.

Thinking of friends in Haifa, Beirut,Tel Aviv, Ramallah, Gaza, Jerusalem & many of most incredible places you’ll ever visit, inhabited by most extraordinary people you’ll ever meet, Arabs & Jews. Going to bed terrified. Cos they’re cursed with the worst political leaders on earth

Today was warning shot. Elor Azaria was earlier iteration. But Israel will likely have an Altalena moment. And far from clear that state institutions (mere weeks old then, 76yrs old today) inevitably prevail. Big reason why is failure— in Israel & diaspora— to reckon with reality

July 20th, 1969 is a date that stands high in my life – it was the day that we, together as one people, achieved the greatest scientific and technological feat in human history. The specific role that Neil, Mike and I performed in the event was but one part of an immeasurably larger effort – not just for our nation, but for all mankind. As I look back on what we accomplished 55 years ago, I am still inspired by what we all saw and did – the best of America and the best of humanity. Thank you for the privilege and the honor of serving you, and for being part of this exciting and wonderous journey with me. #Apollo11
Schools are often local hubs of #interfaith and #communitycohesion best practice. If you know any #London schools doing amazing work in this way there are only a few days left to nominate them for this prestigious award! #TeamRE @culhamstgabriel
Community heroes come in all shapes and sizes. No project is too small. We know faith and community groups silently support people in vital ways.
Now is your chance to spotlight those people who inspire and support you:

On 29th anniversary, we remember the victims of #SrebrenicaGenocide - the worst atrocity on European soil since #WW2- and pay tribute to survivors.
Important that we all challenge hate and combat denial #Islamophobia #AntiMuslimprejudice

Being part of the #ParentingwithCancer project was such a positive experience, and for my eldest be given the opportunity to talk about his mum in front of supportive professionals (plus his brother and grandparents) meant the world.

Session 5 of the conference focused on Parenting in Palliative Care, and session 6 looked at new practices that support parents and can easily be embedded in cancer care. @js_cass @semple_cherith @MuddledDaddy @StJoHospice @ApartOfMeApp @RuthStraussFdn @BreastCancerNow
BLOGPOST - @KevinOGradyRE1 and I undertook a survey of the Freedom of Religion and Belief and Education landscape for @culhamstgabriel. Key principles of #FoRB #Education can be found in the blogpost which includes a link to the full report:

Combining an #Equalities role within #DfE with an #FCDO role is interesting, particularly for #FoRB. Suggests that there will be a greater engagement with #FoRB as a Human Rights priority domestically as well as internationally which would represent a departure from previous govt

She will attend Cabinet.

Such an important conversation... but I cannot be alone in being concerned about the declining diversity of voices in this space? Where is the Jewish, Hindu, Sikh representation? @BoardofDeputies @IFNetUK
The @UKLabour approach to religious groups has been "profoundly altered" in recent years, says @stephenctimms, and the party has observed how religious groups responded with ‘resilience and compassion’ in situations like the pandemic.

So much here resonates. The authentic support from all #hospice staff, the treats from the chef which Nat appreciated and the boys got to share and enjoy, the daily trips to see her taking with me her favourite foods (bread pudding from Parkways)

"The hospice is both a waiting room and an endpoint... In such a context, you can discover there’s little in this world that passes time better than eating."

I am very bad at self-promotion, but as someone else has done this.... we're really touched that so many people have chosen to support this campaign which we know Nat would have approved of. Thank you to everyone who has given, it all makes a difference #gratitude #libraries
