I try to avoid getting political on my blog. But the words of the prophet Micah are good advice in these days - especially to the leaders of the nations.
In 2018 I went up to London to meet Liz and join those who were marching in protest of the arrival of a certain person. A number of people told me I was wrong to do this. That the President of another nation deserved respect. That as a Christian I should be loving and accepting, even if I disagreed with someone.
My answer then was that I believed that my responsibility was to speak for the poor and the marginalised, to speak in defence of those who could not speak for themselves. To uphold people's right to life and liberty. I have not changed my position on this issue.

Hear hear. I never thought we would ever see such a "man" as leader of one the greatest nations on earth.

DeleteWell said as ever Angela. It’s so awful to see so much brutality and injustice and feel so helpless. It’s hard to stay hopeful.

Keep praying. 🙏
DeleteIn the past there was always the notion that might was right, and finders were keepers, which is how colonialism works, from Biblical times until living memory. However this attitude is no longer acceptable. Riding roughshod over nations cannot be tolerated, and like you, I stand with Greenland. And Ukraine.
