The top two pictures are from Greenbelt last weekend, a
general scene and a session organised by USPG exploring David Lammy’s “the
world does not need any more white saviours”.
The bottom two are from the relaunch of the twinning between Haworth and
Machu Picchu this weekend, Yorkshire and Peruvian flags on Main Street and a
web link in the Old School Room.
The
link in my mind is how fertile encountering alternative perspectives and personal
links can be in potentially focussing what we see: I think it was USPG which
took the Bishop of Lincoln to a climate justice event in Fiji where
face-to-face encounter with Bishop of Polynesia’s concern about the impact of
rising sea levels on small Pacific islands has resulted in a much higher
profile for the issue in Lincolnshire churches.
