I did @BBCRadio4 's Prayer for the Day all of this week (bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand/b…)
The six themes and links follow in this thread: 9th July: Hajj & Eid Al'Adha
"If acts of worship are like external manifestations of internal Grace, then the rituals of Hajj are saying: everyone comes to God equal, only the content of our hearts is relevant to The One." #EidAlAdha

This morning's Pause for Thought: (Thread)

I’ve been thinking about three people this week.
- Jesus, as it was Easter weekend.
- Martin Luther King Jr, as it was the 53rd anniversary of his assassination on Sunday.

#Easter #MLK53 #MLKDAY - And Mahatma Gandhi, as today is the anniversary of The Salt March – a 24 day protest against the British Salt Tax in India.

We often talk of Jesus, Gandhi, and Martin Luther-King Jr. in glowing terms. But actually their lives were lives of difficulty.

This is my darling girl at the airport—heading to climb Mount Kilimanjaro.
I absolutely can’t believe it!
The battles she has fought to get to this point are extraordinary.
The Merciful is endlessly kind!
Your prayers would be very much appreciated for her, & the whole group! And so The Trek itself begins. Day 1 of 7.
She is heading to the mountain-to rain, and to snow.
May The Merciful bless her every step, and that of the team.

Any donation would be very much appreciated. She’s trekking to raise funds for emergency relief:
