We are a warm-hearted, diverse, Anglican Church perched on the top of Telegraph Hill in south east London. Come and see us soon.

Chemo fatigue got me again. I’m doing better. Up for longer and then bang suddenly it just creeps up on me and I HAVE TO lie down and sleep. Peggy snoozes nearby and whispers “just rest”. X

I really like this. And I recognise it to be true. It’s the true application of love your neighbour and the parable of the Good Samaritan. However in my experience the Church is not good at this. We are judgemental, tribal, quick to dislike people who are different from our social norm (whether that be because of the way they dress, where they are from, the colour of their skin, their class, politics, accent, gender, sexuality etc). On the whole the Church creates a them and us culture. Who is in. Who is out. Who is part of us. Who is not. I’ve struggled against this my whole Christian life. I think this attitude is anti-Gospel and anti-God and anti-Jesus. And it sits at the heart of all hatred. Racism, homophobia, misogyny, xenophobia. We should look at others and see a child of God. And work from there. This is hard. Because it goes against the trend of fallen human nature. And we will all fail. But this should be our benchmark. #antiracism #loveyourneighbor #gospel #jesusfollower

This is happening this evening. The zoom part is full but you can watch it on YouTube. Can I encourage everyone to make space for this. If you can’t watch it live make space to check it out later. @bcwlindsay is a local pastor, author and activist. Some of you will have heard him speak at St Paul’s last autumn on the same topic. He’s a colleague and a friend and I know how good this will be and so super recommend it. #weneedtotalkaboutrace
