Pilgrim Soldier

Over the last couple of weeks I’ve blogged on a couple of issues that I think are worth repeating:

Firstly, I highlighted the Care not Killing campaign which is fighting Lord Joffe’s Assisted Dying Bill in the House of Lords. The vote was last Friday and the Bill was rejected by 48 votes. However, Lord Joffe has pledged to present the Bill again in 6 months time. A total of 102,363 people signed the petition. CNK aim to continue to raise public awareness over the issues so you can find out more at their website.

The second issue is the Worldwide weekend of Prayer for Children at Risk. For the first time the resources are available in Latvian (translated by The Salvation Army) and I am encouraging our corps to get involved on the Sunday. There is lots of material available that is in all sorts of languages including English and Swahili. The resources can be found here and there is a list of events that might be near to you! I feel very strongly about this one so I doubt this is the last time you will hear about it before June!
