Q u o t e s

Descartes said "I think, therefore I am".
The Christian Faith says "God loves me, therefore I am".

From Radio 4 Thought for the day 29.9.17
"The Christian Life is not 'business as usual....."

​"The mind is like a parachute - it works best when it is open"
 [Shirley Ballas, chief judge at the finals of 'Strictly')

"Accessibility is being able to get into the building. 
Diversity is getting invited to the table. 
Inclusion is having a voice at the table. 
But belonging is having your voice heard at the table".  
Augustine Tanner-Ihm  2020
(the young CofE priest who was rejected for a post because of his colour)
