Standing for love in the face of hate

“In the face of such bigotry, persecution and extremism, Christians are always called to stand with and protect ‘the least of these’. Every single one of us is created in the image of God. So to love God we must love one another – showing compassion, courage and generosity of spirit. It’s really that simple,” says Bishop Jeremy Greaves

We are “all children of God”

“It is common in Christian churches, including in the Anglican Church where I serve, to find a wide spectrum of understanding about human sexuality and gender. For some, this is a sensitive topic. However, what remains paramount is the absolute necessity to create an environment that enables all people to feel safe and to flourish,” says Bishop Jeremy Greaves, Chair of the Anglican Schools Commission
