Paul’s shoulders were the broadest and the strongest. Thanks to him #changemakers like myself stand on them with pride. More than that in #Bristol we are keeping his dream alive. To find out more about how we are honouring the #BristolBusBoycott visit CuriosityUnLtd.com

Paul Stephenson was a legend in St Paul’s. May he rest in peace and rise in glory🙏🏼

"It is about recognising the enduring impact of centuries of exploitation and ensuring that the legacy of slavery is addressed with honesty and integrity.”It’s important to be open and honest @bristoldiocese⁩ ⁦@churchofengland⁩ bbc.com/news/articles/…

Would be great to have friends from @trinity_bristol @bristolnoise helping us too please!!

Great to be in partnership with St Paul’s Adventure Playground & helping to make it a clearer and safer place. Family, friends, local roofers& St Agnes Church lent a hand to support this vital community asset. ⁦@bristoldiocese⁩ ⁦@BAChurchBristol⁩ ⁦@tog4bristol⁩

"Remember when we said that Black lives matter? We didn't mean it. That much is clear now, as the world watches a war that is killing tens of thousands, that has displaced more than 10 million and that is threatening to consume 13 million more through famine – and barely gives it a glance. Most of those are Black lives and it couldn't be more apparent that, to an indifferent world, they don't matter at all." Powerful words from Jonathan Freeland in the @guardiannews today. We submitted a petition with 22,000 signatures to @10DowningStreet about a scheme similar to the Ukraine family scheme and never received a response. Privately, I was told there was no strategic interest for the UK to provide any support.

“A lot of the guys that are lying in the ground here, their story hasn’t been told.” Serving soldiers and veterans have undertaken an 18-hour pilgrimage to Belgium to unveil a plaque honouring West Indian soldiers who served during the First World War. 🔗brnw.ch/21wNE0G

Great to have Bishop ⁦@RosemarieMallet⁩ opening God’s word to us today on our Reconciling Mission week. Inspirational and thought provoking ‘What are you doing here!’ 1Kings19:1-19 Her work on the parish profile before I’d even heard about St Agnes is what brought me here!!

@_mikeroyal @SelinaRStone Sorry to miss you today - hope it goes well🙏🏼

Met Prof Robert Beckford & Prof Gary Younge at a ‘Confronting the past, shaping the future’ meeting hosted by ⁦@BristolUniversi⁩ with local people in St Paul’s. Good to see engagement with local voices and a desire to be held accountable for change ⁦@bristoldiocese⁩

This is great and really encouraging that @marknam is using his gifts, knowledge and insights in this way🙌🏼

Lord have mercy🙏🏼 Another fatal stabbing on Stapleton Road. May God’s peace hover over the land and bring comfort to those who mourn🙏🏼 @bristoldiocese

What a privilege to be invited to be part of Church Commissioners discussions on development of the Repair, Healing & Justice fund. So crucial that local voices are heard with visible representation around the table. Thank you⁦⁩ ⁦@ccsforengland⁩ ⁦@bristoldiocese⁩
