Ron Sider was a longtime friend and ally of @Sojourners and a prolific author and tireless proponent of peace and justice. His book Rich Christians In An Age of Hunger had a profound impact on me and so many others. May he rest in peace and love. ronsiderblog.substack.com/p/…

Great news today: investor pressure (including @ccsforengland @churchofengland) has forced change at @exxonmobil. Along with investor victories at @Chevron & @Shell, proof we need both divestment & investor pressure.
History has been made at the Exxon AGM today. At least 2 of the Engine No. 1 directors have been elected. Voting on the other two was too close to call. Investors are serious about the transition to net zero.
You have until Monday 8 March to apply - find out more here: ow.ly/j2m050DMp2m

What I think would be a good idea would be for all clergy in particular, but all church members too, to stop telling each other what to do about open or closed churches. Instead, just respect that those you disagree with are also trying their best to do what is right. #lockdown

Great TED Talk by @Pontifex yesterday! A highlight was his strong language on #FossilFuelDivestment. "The third suggestion is about energy transition: a gradual replacement, but without delay, of #FossilFuels with clean energy sources." (1/5)

There are many interesting books in our library, including this copy of the New Testament dated to 1881. It was given to Benjamin Harrison (former Archdeacon of Maidstone) & has a gold fore-edge when closed, but appears red when opened or flexed! 📖 #LibrariesWeek #FridayFun

Getting to net zero carbon by 2030 will require all of our churches to think creatively about how to reduce or offset their carbon emissions. Churches like St Michael's in Baddesley are already on a net zero journey — find out how they're doing it here: churchofengland.org/more/pol…
