Vigils: photo exhibition
Exhibition of photographs of the vigils held in Salisbury for peace in Gaza
June 2025
We have posted many times concerning the vigils held in Salisbury Market Place each Saturday at 5pm. Nearly 80 have now been held and there is a regular attendance of around 40 who attend and never less than 30. There is an exhibition of photographs of these vigils starting on 23 June and ending on 19 July at the Methodist Church in St Edmunds Street, Salisbury. They are available to view from 09:30 to noon and at other times when the church is open. We attach a flyer below and if you live in the Salisbury/South Wilts area we ask that you consider displaying it please.
The horror continues with the Independent reporting that 30 were killed by Israeli fire at one of the food points yesterday 31 May. Israel will not allow independent journalists into Gaza so claims are often hard to verify.
The current estimate is that 54,000 have now died in Gaza including many women and children.

Schism is ugly and violent, even when physical violence isn't in the picture. What fueled the Methodist killings in Nigeria is an old, old story. I witnessed part of it.

What the #Methodist #split tells us about #America
A #separation of #church and #hate. When the results were announced, the room erupted in loud #sobs and #cheering. In a dramatic #deviation from the staid proceedings, the #Methodists began to #sing.

DURHAM, N.C. (RNS) — On the first Sunday after the conclusion of the denomination’s General Conference, many queer United Methodists celebrated their release from the tight and narrow spaces that had confined them.
#Methodists end #antigay #bans, closing 50 years of #battles over #sexuality for #mainline #Protestants.
It took just a few days for #UnitedMethodist #delegates to remove a half-century's worth of #denominational #bans on #gay #clergy and #samesexmarriages.
