How Would Jesus' Journey Differ in an Occupied Palestine?

By PhoebeE on 15 Apr 2025

As we enter into Holy Week, my news feed, TikTok FYP and Instagram are covered in the same images. All eyes are on Gaza. This week the bombing has continued, this time destroying Al Ahli hospital on Palm Sunday. Al Ahli hospital is an Anglican run hospital in Gaza, and the last major hospital providing critical healthcare in northern Gaza. The evacuation prior to the bombing caused the death of yet another child in the conflict, as the bombing has caused even more global condemnation.

Growing as Disciples

By SophDay on 15 Apr 2025

With Lent coming to an end, it is a good time to reflect on our discipleship and what inspires us to put our faith into action. The richness, complexity, and personal practices that we engage with express our faith in a way that reflects who we are, and what we are called to do. The end of Lent also offers us a time to reflect on our own theology and how we understand Jesus’ message. Our understanding of Jesus’ message is shaped by our own context and experiences, and how we live this out comes in a variety of ways, with no one way being the ‘right’ one.

'Find Your Identity in Christ': Transness as Vocation

By SCM on 26 Mar 2025

When I first came out as non-binary and trans eight years ago, some people tried to tell me I should ‘find my identity in Christ’ - not in my transness or my non- binary gender. I didn’t understand why they thought my gender and my identity in Christ were mutually exclusive, especially when they didn’t say the same to all the cis people happily identifying with their various genders. Now I know that actually the opposite is true: my transness is part of my identity in Christ, because it is one of the things God has called me into.
