L: Amnesty International chief Agnes Callamard embraced ICC's Karim Khan long after the sexual abuse charges were known. So did Amnesty UK's Kristyan Benedict. R: Sarah, the young mother who was sexually abused by Karim Khan, gives her first interview. Amnesty are all silent.






This morning, I preached at the York Minster. As we gather for General Synod this week and look to grow as a church, we heard a reading from Isaiah, who offers a beautiful image of God tending the soil. This is a good image for us to think about as a church, and it is the work of each of us, if we are to rebuild trust and grow hope. That work is already underway. I have seen that soil tended in parishes, churches and communities around the country, making space for hearts to be transformed by the seed of God’s word. It is inspiring to see the life of the church, in the ordinary lives of God’s people doing extraordinary things. I pray that we can recognise God at work - tending the soil in which trust grows, lives can be changed, and hope restored. Photo Credit: York Minster
