Sitting around arguing about abortion (Catholics) or homosexuality (Anglicans). Fending off accusations of imperialism, or attempts by African prelates to split the Church of England. Trying to engage with Syrian migrants. Our local church is twinned with a parish in Palestine. In the news this week: famine in south Sudan caused mainly by conflict (not apparently related to oppression of Christians) and homophobic oppression in Tanzania (is the church there standing up for Old Testament values?).
