Speak as you find: Marigold Bentley gets people talking

‘The sessions were extremely illuminating.’

by Marigold Bentley 31st May 2024

During the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity in January, I asked the minister of a local active church why that church had refused to allow the local Palestine Group to meet there. He went pale, took a few steps back, and said well, it is too political. In further conversations during that week, other clergy admitted to me that their congregations were split on the issue, and they couldn’t identify a way forward. Most of them simply didn’t address the issue in their churches at all, as they found it too divisive and difficult.
