This morning, the Rwanda Bill was passed in Parliament.
The JPIT churches, along with over 250 other organisations from across civil society in the UK, have signed an open letter to the Prime Minister following the passage of the Government’s Rwanda Act.
We’ve joined other organisations to make a stand against the Government’s Rwanda Plan, which breaks international law and “abandons our duty to share in the global responsibility towards those forced to seek safety”.

Today is Maundy Thursday, sometimes referred to as Holy Thursday or Sheer Thursday which is part of our celebration of Easter. It marks the night of the Last Supper as told in the Bible.
It pays homage to Jesus Christ’s last meal with his disciples, before handing himself over to be crucified.
The word Maundy comes from the Latin word for ‘command’, referencing instructions that Jesus gave to his disciples at the Last Supper.
At the Last Supper, Jesus commanded that people should love one another, he then washed the feet of his disciples as an act of kindness.

Maundy Thursday is a day to remember the disciples gathering around Jesus before his death. We often remember the story as that of the Last Supper, and a story that ushers in betrayal. But underneath, it is also a story about love and grace and how we relate to those who want us harmed.
Jesus washes the disciples’ feet. Every disciple. Jesus also predicts his death and the betrayal of Judas. Yet he washes Judas’ feet. Jesus knew what Judas would do, but still, he breaks bread with him. Jesus extends love and the possibility of change and redemption all the way to the end. He never treats Judas as ‘the enemy’, as worthless, as someone whose dignity and humanity can just be erased or disregarded. Even in betrayal and pain, Jesus attends to the humanity of the one who hurts him.
My prayer for the world today is that this same attention to one another’s dignity and humanity would be at the core of our actions as people and as nations.
“Now before the festival of the Passover, Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart from this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.” — John 13.1

Thought that this upcoming retreat on the Cornish Saint St. Ia might be of interest to some of your group members, looks interesting: Journeying on a Leaf:Retreat day on the Cornish Saint Ia 11am-4pm (10.30-11am Coffee) April 12th 2024 Cost £50 Location: Chacewater Village Hall, Church Hill, Chacewater, Truro, Cornwall TR48PZ. There is free parking very near the venue. Saint Ia of Cornwall literally missed the boat when her companions left Ireland, heading for Hayle in Cornwall. Fearing crossing the sea alone, she prayed and saw a small leaf floating on the water. She watched it and it grew larger and larger. She trusted God, the leaf became her coracle and carried her across the ocean.Ia’s story will be the creative ground from which to draw from in order to deepen your own spirituality. Using guided imaginative prayer, you will explore the journey of surrender, solitude, the leafy coracle and the wild elemental ocean, wind and sky. Her incredible odyssey across the sea will also offer beautiful material for your own creative writing. You'll be able to explore the idea of ‘journeying with nature’ through contemplation and art; working with an artist, you will have the opportunity to work with leaves and create patterns in clay – your work will be later fired in a kiln and sent to you as a beautiful reminder of the day and your own creativity. And slowing down and walking mindfully, you'll enter a leaf labyrinth, relaxing into a slow walking prayer on your journey to the Centre, to God…All are welcome and no writing or art experience is needed.
🌷 Happy Mother’s Day to mothers and women across the globe.
🙏 Join us as we lift them up in prayer and remember those in need of comfort this day.

Cardinal Vincent has called for this Friday to be a day of prayer for peace in the Holy Land and Gaza, ‘as a vital part of our observance of Lent.’
If you’re in central London, you can come to Westminster Cathedral where the Blessed Sacrament will be exposed on the High Altar after the 1.30pm Mass until 4.45pm. The Stations of the Cross at 6.30pm will also be offered for this intention.

“I beg you, bear with one another in love…” – Ephesians 4: 1 – 7.
On this #WorldDayofPrayer we share in this theme prepared by a group of Palestinian Christian women before the current conflict. To mark this day, Revd David Hardman, Methodist Liaison Officer, Jerusalem has shared this prayer:
God of love,
walk through the destroyed streets of Gaza and the fearful households of Israel
and hold all who grieve, fear and hate in your everlasting arms,
God of justice,
walk, once again, through the occupied land of Palestine
and at the checkpoints demand freedom for the oppressed,
God of peace,
walk in the corridors of power and show leaders content to sanction war,
your scared hands of sacrificial love as the antidote to brutal power,
Word of God,
be heard in us as you beseech us to bear one another in love,
that together love and justice can bring peace to the land we, desire to still, call holy, Amen.
