Grenfell Tower is at present the only memorial to those who died. It will need to come down someday but it would easier if we knew what would replace it. The @GrenfellTowerMC has an important job to ensure a fitting memory of such a tragedy.

Strange to find myself speaking to Lutheran priests in Örebro Sweden today as this dreadful tragedy unfolded. A beautiful city devastated by loss. Good to pray with the local Bishop Johan this evening for the peace and hope of Christ to be known here.

Been pondering the argument between @RoryStewartUK and @JDVance on Christian love. Great discussion, but it seem to me that they have both missed a crucial point when it comes to who to love. More here...

Good prayer for the start of a new year: Give us grace faithfully to bear Christ’s Name, to worship him in the freedom of the Spirit, and to proclaim him as the Saviour of the world.

Ever wondered who the wise men were? Or were they three kings? Here's their story involving Persia, Armenia, Babylon and other mysterious kingdoms.

For those who don’t get the FT here are my thoughts on why giving at Christmas is such a cosmically and spiritually significant act.

It's time the Church of England was no longer the centre of the Anglican Communion. I've been privileged to chair a key Anglican Commission & we've recently produced this report, arguing for a new vision that reflects the nature of the Communion today.
