The cynical equivalence of checking facts with censorship boosts tech profits and rips social fabric apart. Next Monday, on the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, there will be more online Holocaust denial than ever before. The dark curriculum of a fact-less world.

I once got the chance to interview Eva Schloss, an Auschwitz survivor who looked Josef Mengele in the eye; you can watch it here. She emphasised the role of the bystander in shaping politics. There is no neutrality in the fight against extremism. simonburton-jones.com/From%20Freedom…

A new lent course from The Clewer Initiative worth considering for any parish looking to learn how best to tackle modern slavery within their community. @SeeOfRochester

What can I say, Wisdom Hospice? In the midst of so many challenges for the hospice movement, your empathy, kindness, industry and sheer professional skill enfold the end of life and enrich the county of Kent. Thank you Martyn, Ros and the whole team @SeeOfRochester

Truth is the last weapon to hand of the cornered poor and dispossessed. Its deregulation online by Meta and X privileges bullies and oligarchs, shameless or rich enough to stifle the one thing that sets us free. A safe internet is for life, not just for February 11.

Alexei Navalny died a year ago tomorrow. He learned the Sermon on the Mount by heart in prison. Inmates were told to shout in his face. I love that he chose to shout back in their faces about Putin's corruption. He didn't turn the other cheek to the abuse of political power.

One way to understand it is Steve Bannnon's goal of a Judeo-Christian strategic alliance of the US and Russia against China. How we interpret God's character, therefore, has become so very important, and it starts for all of us with repentance and humility, not vanity and hubris.

The attention economy means our minds are less like the cool, white minimalist interior design people aspire to in life and more like the junk garage where broken and pointless stuff is tipped. A reflection for the start of Lent: seenandunseen.com/let-you-mind-w… @SeeOfRochester

Some women's career path is like striding at speed, while other men stroll on the moving walkway alongside them. That's not of God. And one reason among many for #InternationalWomensDay @SeeOfRochester

Fantastic news! Rochester Diocese is to receive £11 million over the next five years from the The Church of England to support mission and growth across Medway, north and west Kent, and the London Boroughs of Bromley and Bexley. Read more: tinyurl.com/ykxa5r3w

Stunningly good speakers at the Rochester diocesan education conference with Paul Morrison, Mark Russell (he/him) and Dr Jaz Ampaw-Farr. Childhood poverty is not acceptable and it is not inevitable. Thank God for our teachers, working so professionally with this reality @SeeOfRochester

I hope and pray the harrowing Netflix series #Adolescence helps to change the national conversation round toxic masculinity and does for misogyny what ITV's Mr Bates versus The Post Office did for the Post Office.

Truth Decay 1 on 8th April will explore how Silicon Valley’s promise of a new networked world is being built on sand, not rock. The first of two linked reflective days on the influence of the internet and electronic social media. To book: [email protected]

Is it OK to pray for the death of a dictator? Informed prayer should be short on controlling advice for God but strong on the promise the mighty will be cast down from their thrones: seenandunseen.com/it-ok-pray-dea…

Finally, thank you! Though might complicate the Jimmy Anderson terrace chant.

For all those in church leadership this Easter, four things: 1. It isn't down to you 2. It never was 3. But you'll be amazed to find out just how much God did in and through you one day 4. You and those you care for are loved with a universe-busting cross of love @SeeOfRochester

Praying for Roman Catholic brothers and sisters everywhere today and giving thanks for the generous life and evangelistic witness of Francis. What service to the end. And what timing. @SeeOfRochester

Both Bishop Jonathan Gibbs and Simon Burton-Jones have been appalled to hear the news shared today by The Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem of another attack on the Anglican-run Al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza which has killed 5 people. 1/3

For all the counter arguments, a core purpose of legislation is to protect the voiceless and most vulnerable; fragile older people who don't speak up and are disempowered in an ageist society. Today, Parliament has failed in this task.
