Last night I took part in an incredibly moving pilgrimage of reconciliation at Norwich Cathedral. Reconciliation is a difficult, often slow, painful and harrowing process. Yet it’s a God-given ministry. It demands the whole of who you are, and leaves...

Delicious lunch at St Stephens Church café, which serves people who are poor, lonely, depressed or isolated in some way. It was deeply moving today to hear about how they have experienced healing and community here. 'Do not neglect to show hospitality...
