Preposterously Reverend Lord Professor Bishop Baron Lord Richard Harries, Baron Pentregarth, Gresham Professor of Divinity, Baron, Bishop, Professor, Lord…

And in the Big News today from a Faith Perspective, the word “manifest”. It has come to mean “to dream or will something into existence.” Positive thinking sometimes works. But sometimes, when it comes up against reality, it doesn’t.

This and the the American push to conquer the west and the fall of great empires and the church and mystery and stuff.

My point is clear.

Rabbi Laura Janner-Klausner, Movement Rabbi at the Movement for Reform Judaism

Wars, wars, wars, everywhere. We’re all being brutalised by them. This is EXACTLY the same as the Hebrew slaves, except they’re real. We must not suppress empathy for one side or the other.

There are no Big Jewish Festivals today.

Rev Dr Sam Wells, Vicar of St Martin-in-the-Fields

45 Hong Kong democratic activists have been imprisoned. This is EXACTLY the same as Jesus. He was always going on about democracy. You couldn’t shut him up about it. Accountability-to-the-people that, and procedural-transparency this. If there’s one thing Jesus is well known for, it’s his support for free and fair elections.

Miss Nigeria nearly won Miss Universe. This is EXACTLY the same as the Gospels, and St Paul and the early Church. Both illustrate unity. If there’s one thing we Christians are at liberty to lecture you about it’s unity. And I include Catholics, Orthodox, Methodists, Baptists, Calvinists, Anglicans, Lutherans, Evangelicals, Pentecostolists…
