Wonderful to be amongst so many #ecumenical friends for an historic occasion - the Confirmation of the Election of Archbishop Sarah who also becomes a President of @churchesengland.bsky.social
Archbishop Sarah was charged with “breaking down barriers and building trust across differences”
Honoured to represent Churches Together in England at a moving Holocaust Memorial Day Service in London. A timely reminder that in these divisive days we must resist antisemitism and racism wherever it raises it ugly head. #HMD2026

Great to be on Premier Christian Radio Inspirational Breakfast with Jack Palmer-White talking about ChurchWorks, church based community engagement and the church linking with local & central government… #ChurchWorks #ChurchesTogether
