This letter of Jerome is the preface to the Gutenberg Bible. It’s a shame to adorn these walls of your soul with jewels when Christ perishes in his poor (Mt 25:40.) Our possessions are not our own but a stewardship entrusted by God.

How would a person with this faith respond with gov’t aid to the poor is zeroed out? Do we object to gov’t taxation as much as private sector calls to individual aid?

How can you adorn your soul?

The big idea: why we need human rights now more than ever

In an age of climate crisis and AI, equal treatment is nothing less than essential

The Guardian

@openDemocracy People seeking asylum are being faced with an(other) impossible decision: attend asylum appointments to move their case for asylum forward but risk being carted away to detention centre without fair consideration, or to just "disappear" now and give up claiming asylum. People are going without food to avoid the risk of being treated this way.

This government is inhumane, we need to make being British better.
