I'll share insightful reflections every Monday for four weeks.
Tune in live or catch up at your leisure for a series of thought-provoking ideas!

This is heartbreaking. Thank you for showing in such a clear, moving way the immorality of the Gazan massacre of children ππποΈπ World leaders step up please. Enough is enough.

Well, we wake up today to a new Prime Minister but the star of No.10 Downing Street, in my eyes, is Larry the Cat!
Did you know that he is 14 years old? Heβs been βin position longer than the leader of any UK political party.β

Today Iβd like to give a special call-out to James Anderson, the founder of DEPHER (Disabled and Elderly Plumbing and Heating Emergency Repairs).

Iβve woken up to a world where Palestinians in tents are being run over by tanks and the Church of England is still arguing about same sex blessings and the world carries on enjoying itself. What sort of reality is this? π€πποΈ
The only pet rescue centre in Gaza. These guys are angels. Follow them on Instagram to get more information on how to donate to help their reduce of dogs, cats, horses and donkeys who are starving in Gaza.

Hi, I'm Dr Jenny McKay - I'm trying to provide new ways of connecting with people outside of Church and creating new ways of doing church together. π

Well said Bea. The hypocrisy is astounding. It will all stop if the genocide in Gaza stopped. Call a ceasefire for goodness sake! ποΈπ΅πΈ
Today has been a very emotional day where we shared in the Royal Familyβs grief and also felt the pain of her beloved pets. Remembering this evening, all pets left after their owners pass away and remembering all pet owners grieving loss of a beloved pet at this time. ππ€
I'm delighted to announce that I'm moving church! In early August I'll be starting at St. George's Church, Stockport.
One thing (of many) that's really exciting about St. George's Church is that they livestream their Sunday services...

@giles_fraser
Iβve been there too, it was horrific, and it makes me feel even more troubled that we can express emotion about this Holocaust yet not stop the 24/7 equivalent or worse in Gaza in 2024. ππ.βNever againβ we said.
βThis book will challenge how you look at the food on your plate, think more about where it comes from and what you can actively do to make the world a better placeβ π€

A Cat's Prayer by Herbert Brokering. From "Cat Psalms". Monarch Books. 2016
Dear God,
My soul wants out. My soul must get away, someplace new. I need space, air, adventure. When I am out, my soul wants back in, it longs for rest, warmth, the safety of home. Dear God, let me hear
On the 21st of December (the shortest day) I always hold a short reflective service in remembrance of those pets who have passed on my Facebook page. π
This year on the Longest Day at 7.30pm on the 21st of June, I thought it would be a good opportunity to remember happy times
Holocaust Memorial Day, which we commemorated on Friday, and World Interfaith Harmony Week, which begins this Wednesday, require us to open our hearts, both to the memory of the past and towards a more tolerant and loving future.
@antonioguterres
@UN
Thank you for condemning what can only be called a genocide of Gazaβs civilians. I support you in all you can do to stop this Gaza humanitarian crisis and bring peace to both Palestine and Israel π
@AngelaTilby
I usually agree with you Angela but not on this one. I would like to see headlines about the climate crisis as many bury their heads in the sand but today RB was called out rightly as a sexual predator.
Tuesday was Valentineβs Day. π
We give thanks for the unconditional love of God that is freely given to us.
In the knowledge of that love, we should extend our hands to others and nourish a spirit of togetherness with those we meet every day.
I know this is a windy video but does anyone else find running water, streams, the sea or being on an island just SO relaxing and quite a spiritual experience? Guess where I am!

Did you know that camels spit when they get annoyed?
Their cheeks bulge out so you know itβs coming and they vomit up not only saliva but the contents of their stomach.
When I was a vet student, a baby camel spat at me and it wasnβt very pleasant. π€’
Today is the second Sunday of Advent when we light our second Advent candle on the Advent wreath. It is called the peace candle or Bethlehem candle. At the 8.00 service, It wouldnβt light for me and I burned my fingers in the process. It made me think of the church in Bethlehem
@LearnWithSubhan
@jacksonhinklle
Yep, the world should be ashamed of itself. The really frightening thing is that we now know if a genocide is taking place we will not necessarily be helped or saved unless it suits the US π The world order is broken.
On this day, we remember the countless animals lost in wartime, innocent beings caught in the crossfire. They stood by us in battle, bearing the burdens of war with unwavering loyalty. We honour these silent heroes.

Around 30% of DEPHERβs funding comesΒ from donations, although itβs always a struggle to get enough. The rest comes from Jamesβ own pocket. When he launched DEPHER, he closed his profitable plumbing and heating business without thinking twice.
An excellent book to help others, which shows that priests are not immune to the intense anger and loss of a bereavement...

People are the priority. But also is there any way that food for animals can get in? This whole situation is so appalling πππ
#GazaGenocide
I canβt bear watching the situation in Gaza. It would have been like the army erasing me and others in Northern Ireland to shut down the IRA. Why canβt there be a ceasefire and talks? Does anyone else feel depressed? π
Last week we remembered pets who died.
Today we remember friends and family who we no longer see with the lights of the Fire Garden at Dunham Massey to contemplate on.
