Here's an interesting article (2:03) on this topic for discussion.

As our population grows, we pray for all people:


for the disadvantaged,
those who govern,
those who discover,
those who invent,
those who labour,
those who mourn,
those who delight,
those who care,
those who create,
those who employ,
those who feel they don't belong,
those who  pray -
that all may live life in all its fullness and make the world a better place!

We pray this in the name of the Father,
and of the Son,
and of the Holy Spirit. AMEN

Now, a 2 minute video which raises some interesting points!

National Day of Remembrance for Victims of Honour Abuse


14/07/2024

There are an estimated 12 'honour' killings each year in the UK although the exact number is unknown. Honour abuse often has multiple perpetrators (including women) from the immediate and extended family and sometimes the community at large which makes prosecutions extremely difficult.

Here's some information related to this day:


Whether you are at risk or are concerned for someone that is, trained staff from the KarmaNirvana organisation are available to listen and help, offering confidential support to both victims and professionals. Call on 0800 5999 247.

Here are some key questions to consider:

  • Are you being PRESSURED to get married against your will?
  • Do you fear to bring SHAME & dishonour on your family?
  • Have you been emotionally manipulated or physically ABUSED?
  • Are you being told to get married because of your RELIGION?
  • Do you worry about being DISOWNED?

 

Loving God, we pray for those who live in fear of honour crimes and for those working to change mindsets.
We cry out to you the God of Peace to end violence against women in all its forms.
Teach us to see it.
Teach us to call it out,
Teach us to stand with survivors and demand change.
We ask this in your holy name. AMEN.    St. Julie: pray for us, protect us and bless us.
