  • EMERGENCY EPISODE: Famine in Gaza, A Plea for Compassion

    EMERGENCY EPISODE: Famine in Gaza, A Plea for Compassion
    May 8 2025
    In this emergency episode, we bring urgent attention to the escalating humanitarian crisis in Gaza. With severe food shortages affecting nearly the entire population, and close to half a million people thought to already be suffering the most severe stage of famine, we hone in on the consequence of nearly two months of a near complete blockage of aid flows into the territory that now endangers an entire people. Please join us with our urgent plea for compassion. Suggested Intention Focus With the deteriorating and perilous situation brining nearly Gaza’s entire population to the point of starvation, we suggest holding as an urgent intention: We will that the hearts and minds of all who have influence and affect decisions on the flow or otherwise of humanitarian aid into Gaza will be moved with deep compassion for the millions of innocent people who are suffering or facing starvation there.

  • Kashmir in the Middle: The Crisis Between Two Nuclear Powers that's Moving Dangerously in the Direction of War

    Kashmir in the Middle: The Crisis Between Two Nuclear Powers that's Moving Dangerously in the Direction of War
    May 7 2025
    In this urgent episode, we focus on the rising tensions between India and Pakistan. With over 1.65 billion lives potentially affected, this episode explores the background and implications of India's recent military strikes against its neighbour, accusations of Pakistani support for the attack on civilians in Kashmir two weeks ago, and the deep-rooted conflict that threatens a possible escalation into war. Join us as we look at where our collective power in intention and prayer is now urgently needed to avoid a flashpoint turning into an escalation into a bitter war. Suggested Intention Focus for this week This week, as relations between India and Pakistan have intensified to a level not seen for many years, we suggest holding as our main intention: We will that wisdom will prevail among all who have influence in the military command and within or upon the governments of India and Pakistan to determine a forward path that avoids escalation of their conflict at all costs. Please join us in holding this. Intentions and prayers start at 18 minutes 30 seconds.

  • Trans Lives Matter (Part 1)

    Trans Lives Matter (Part 1)
    May 1 2025
    This week, as a landmark legal ruling in the UK and sweeping executive orders in the US come into effect, we take a deep dive into the controversial social issue that has sparked fierce debate in our own countries: the rights and recognition of people identifying as trans. We delve into the nature of the division in this divide, understand the challenge of finding a way forward that may be acceptable both to trans people and those who argue for their exclusion from single sex safe spaces, and explore what may lie behind the increasing unease in society on the issue, especially in the U.S. and U.K. Crucially, we consider why the "trans issue" is one that affects us all, and that to ignore or push it into the long grass risks further alienation and future crisis in our own back yards and has broader implications for equality, freedom of expression, and social progress. As always, we conclude with suggested intentions and prayers. This is Part 1 of a 2 part special on this topic. Next time, Clive talks about his own experience of growing up trans and sharing his reactions and reflections on what’s now happening in our own back yards. Suggested Intention Focus for this week This week, as we consider the grave fear and sense of exclusion being faced by many trans people in the US and UK, as well as in other countries, we suggest holding as our main intention: We will that there will be a readiness among all people to recognise and respect the gender identities of others that they may consider to be outside the norm, including where these may be contrary to the notion of binary or biologically-determined sex or gender according to their own faith-based or other worldview. Please join us in holding this. Intention and prayers start at 38 minutes 30 seconds.
