And in the Big News today from a Faith Perspective, Black Lives Matter. Which brings me to Jesus. Also, all the disreputable characters in the Old Tasty mint, or indeed St Paul.

A quick mention of Black Lives Matter. Back to the Invisible Magic Friend, who firmly believes that Donald Trump should get the Nobel Peace Prize for his permament peace in the Middle East. Although he’s not quite as great as Jesus.

Palestinians and Israelis must now struggle to rebuild their houses and their lives. Only Jesus knows how much they have sufferred. Which is a real shame for both Muslims and Jews as neither believe in him.

Amazingly Reverend Doctor Lord David Walker, Bishop of Manchester

And in the Big News today from a Faith Perspective, me. I’m off to Barbados to learn about slavery. It was a terrible place for black slaves, but a jolly nice place to learn about them as the winter months approach.

Jesus was totally against slavery. I’m sure he would have said so, if only he’d thought to mention it.

People in Gaza are trying to go home. Many dread what they will find. Food, water and shelter should return in time. Israelis await the return of the hostages.

It may seem that you can do nothing. Hebrew and Christian tradition exhorts anger at injustice. I’ve no idea what the other one exhorts. Jesus said so. And he was the Temporarily Visible Third of the Invisible Magic Friend. Although neither Jews not Muslims accept this truth. But there is something you can do, you can pray. Lots of us have been praying and look, peace!

And in the Big News today from a Faith Perspective, Pope Leo. Isn’t he great. The previous Pope, Pope Francis, was brilliant too. Pope Leo has decided to be brilliant, just like Pope Francis was. Christians, by which I mean proper Christians, i.e. Catholics, think Pope Leo is brilliant, just like Pope Francis.

And that is the end of the Big News today from a Faith Perspective. Isn’t Pope Leo just fantastic.
