Oct 28, '24 BLACK HISTORY MONTH BLACK HISTORY MONTH 01/10/2024 – 31/10/2024 Welcome to Black History Month at St. Julie's. We hope conversations might be started that continue long after the end of October. Here's a short intro (1:16) for 2020: A prayerful reflection (3:55) focusing on a conversation between a person and God: So how much do we know of Black History? Here's a video (7:46) that might, unfortunately, be surprising. The last video referred to 1919. So, what was that all about? Our city is significantly involved. Find out more (5:37) N.B. This video comes with a warning about language used. 1919 was the year after the First World War. Here's an important perspective on that conflict (6:17) which is not often explored. So, that was very definitely history! What about today and most particularly education today? Here's a BBC report (12:28) about what it is to be black and at Cambridge University. We've all probably heard of Rosa Parks and the Montgomery Bus Boycott but have you heard about the Bristol Bus Boycott? (Find out more below.) A PRAYER FOR THIS MONTH (available here as a one minute video) Loving God, Help us deepen our understanding, appreciation and experience of living as one people – all made in your image – all sharing a common home. In this special month and beyond, give us courage to ask questions of ourselves and others – even if those questions and responses make us uncomfortable. Help us move beyond the complicity of silence which allows injustice to continue. Help us not be party to postponing that day when all of your people will feel valued and loved - and that we arrive together at the awesome moment when there will be no them – only US! We ask this in your Holy Name. AMEN Read more	Oct 29, '24 BLACK HISTORY MONTH BLACK HISTORY MONTH 01/10/2024 – 31/10/2024 Welcome to Black History Month at St. Julie's.

Only 131 cases of journalists’ killings are reported as being resolved since 2006, representing an overall impunity rate of 88%. Beyond fatal attacks, journalists endured other violations such as physical attack, kidnapping, enforced disappearance, imprisonment and torture. Harassment and other harmful acts are increasingly prevalent in the online sphere, and are especially dire for women journalists. Syria was the most dangerous country for journalists, followed by Mexico and Afghanistan. The Arab States region, Latin America and the Caribbean, and Asia and the Pacific account for more than three quarters of killings. Source: UNESCO 2019 A PRAYER FOR TODAY: God of truth, we give thanks this day for those who work in the media, investigating, communicating, holding people in power to account. We ask you to bless them with wisdom and strength - showering them with the sense of satisfaction that comes from a job well done! Give those who investigate crimes against journalists the courage and determination to bring perpetrators to account. We ask this in your holy name. AMEN Read more	Nov 3, '24
