SCM member Honey Harrop shares their experience of PTSD and faith. 

Founded in 1998, Refugee Week is a week-long UK-wide festival celebrating refugees that takes place every year in June. In this blog Lizzy explains what Refugee Week stands for, why she loves it, and why this year more than ever it is so important to celebrate the refugees living within our own communities. 

In April of this year The Nationality and Borders Bill was passed in Parliment. This will impair refugees' ability to enter the country legally whilst putting them in more danger if travelling illegally. Some aspects of the Bill are also designed to undermine the rights of refugees and asylum seekings already living in the UK.

For the first vocations story from our Called to Be resource we hear from Emilia. Emilia has a degree in motorsports and now works for a luxury car company. She reflects on the choices she has made working in a field that has contributed to projects she believes go against her faith.

But it is so much broader; it is about our journey as disciples in whatever direction God is leading us. It is not only about what we do, but how we live and who we are called to be. 

For our next Everyday Theology blog, we discuss the fear of death and judgement according to scripture and some of society. 

Britain may be less divided than we think…
