Joint statement by the
Archbishop of York and Archbishop of Canterbury
Recent events
in the United States of America have once again drawn public attention to the
ongoing evil of white supremacy. Systemic racism continues to cause
incalculable harm across the world. Our hearts weep for the suffering
caused – for those who have lost their lives, those who have experienced
persecution, those who live in fear. God’s justice and love for all
creation demands that this evil is properly confronted and tackled. Let us be
clear: racism is an affront to God. It is born out of ignorance, and must
be eradicated. We all bear the responsibility and must play our part to
eliminate this scourge on humanity.
As Dr Martin
Luther King Jr. said, “In a real sense, we are all caught in an inescapable
network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Therefore, injustice
anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”
We pray that
God’s abounding wisdom, compassion and love will guide leaders across the world
to forge a better society.
Bishop Paul speaks of confronting racism

The Bassetlaw Food
Bank does not receive any formal funding,
they rely completely on grant
applications, donations from organisations, churches, the general public and
fundraising to be able to provide support to the local people of Worksop, Retford and surrounding villages.
This time of year is not good for some people in our
local community, not only following the expense of Christmas but also with high
energy bills during the winter months. On top of this we have the uncertainty
caused by the roll out across the district of the new Universal Credit Full
Service.
The process of applying for this benefit impacts on
many people, including not only the unemployed and sick, but working people and
their families. We currently have no idea what impact this is going to have on
the demand for the Food Bank during the coming year, but early signs are not
good and donations will help us to be prepared for any continuing rise that may
occur.
Bassetlaw Food Bank
are proud to be supported by a team of over 90 volunteers; without their support
they would not be in a position to offer their services five days a week. Their
expansion signifies that there has been a continued demand for their services
across the Bassetlaw District, which will not be sustained without support

What is Real LIFE?
Real LIFE is a discipleship course designed to envision, empower and equip God’s
people in making the life-long journey of following-after Christ. The course is
made-up of three ten-week blocks (Life CORE, Life CREDO and Life STORY), which
in their own different ways will look at ten aspects of discipleship that emerge
from the teaching and example of Jesus in Luke 9. Life CORE introduces these
aspects; Life CREDO considers the bigger theological themes that lie behind
them; and Life STORY asks how each aspect of discipleship is developed in
everyday experience.
