Finding ways forward

The past few months have been especially challenging for many British citizens, but in truth, the last few years have been difficult for people worldwide. Every time we switch on the news or scroll through social media, we are bombarded with reports of heartbreak, destruction, and loss. Global conflicts in countries like Ukraine, Syria, Palestine, Yemen, South Sudan, Myanmar, and the Democratic Republic of Congo are devastating. The list seems endless. Yet, it is not only wars and conflicts that weigh heavily on our hearts. The tragic events that sparked riots following the deaths of children in Southport are a sobering reminder that even within our communities, strife and violence can erupt, leaving us feeling anxious and uncertain about the future.
