As millions mark Easter around the world, it’s a time to reflect on the challenges we face both at home and internationally, and what our response should be.文章源自英文巴士-https://www.en84.com/2594.html

We hear painful stories every day of homelessness, poverty or crisis in our health service – or across the world, of the devastating consequences of war and conflict, including millions forced to become refugees.文章源自英文巴士-https://www.en84.com/2594.html

It would be easy to retreat into our private lives because the challenges seem overwhelming, or allow ourselves to be divided and blame others.文章源自英文巴士-https://www.en84.com/2594.html
But we need to respond to these problems head-on, through action and support for social justice, peace and reconciliation.
These principles are at the heart of Christianity. And Christians throughout the world will, this weekend, be remembering Jesus’s example of love and sacrifice, and the Easter message of redemption and peace.
At a time of growing conflict, that message of peace could not have more urgency throughout the world. I meet Christians, and others of all faiths and none, on a daily basis, who share and live these ideals: people that give their time to others – whether those running food banks, protecting the vulnerable, looking after the sick, the elderly and our young people.
That spirit of respect for each other, peace and equality is one we can all share. So to all Christians and those of all faiths and of none, have a happy and peaceful Easter.
