Thought for the Week

This is a week to reflect on the example of the many women and men of modern times who have witnessed to the love of Christ.
Edith Cavell, Edith Stein, Dietrich Bonhoeffer and companions, Maximillian Kolbe, Martin Luther-King, Archbishops Luwum of Uganda and Romero of El Salvador, the martyrs of Melanesia, the Christians in India and Iraq.
"Be Faithful unto death, and I will give you a crown of life."

And to see the example of the work of "Everyday Saints" in our time, take a look at the Christian Aid Video on Climate Change to see how a farmer in Burkina Faso has brought joy to his community by introducing new techniques to conserve water.
