WE ARE GOING TO INSTALL A SOLAR POWERED WATER PUMP IN AN AFRICAN VILLAGE

The crisis in the charity sector has made us review our methods of giving. As a family we have decided to take a new, hands on approach.

This year we are flying to the Gambia to see a village that has no water supply. We are then going to pay ourselves, for a bore hole to be sunk and a solar powered water pumping system to be installed.

While we are there, we will also visit a second village that has no water supply. We will then return early next year to see the village we have sponsored, with its new water supply.

Meanwhile, we intend to raise the £8000 required for the second village. We will donate all the money we raise in December, from our Christmas lights, towards this. If you would like to be involved in this project, where ALL of the money will be spent in Africa and where we will personally verify the success of the project and publish photographs of it, then please send your donations to me, marked WATER. If you would like details of my account to transfer a donation, contact me at:


archbishopjonathanblake@gmail.com

I will keep a running total of donations for this second village on the following blog page:

http://bishopjonathanblake.blogspot.com/2018/05/running-total-for-water-for-african.html

We hope to be able to have raised the money for the second village by early next year. We hope to be able to keep an annual momentum going so that we are able to provide one new village per year with water and visit annually to be able to verify and record the work that has been done. We also intend to continue to support the villages in other areas of development. I have researched many charities and organisations that work in this field and have found one that takes no expenses for itself, but that ensures all the money donated reaches its intended target.

We would be very grateful for your support

THE WORLD IS TALKING ABOUT TOMMY ROBINSON BUT THE U.K.REMAINS GAGGED

Freedom of speech in the U.K. is being resigned to history and an unlikely prisoner of conscience, Tommy Robinson, is now incarcerated, yet again, in prison. The U.K is becoming a police state, where the judicial system acts as an enemy of the people, incapable of convicting the guileful guilty, instead pursuing the naive innocent, where the press is subject to censorship and citizens are prohibited from giving factual information to the public, let alone their opinions. The Kafkaesque nature of the present administration should vex even the most compliant. This erosion of our ability to voice disagreement, present argument and engage in debate threatens the tranquility of our island idyll. Political correctness has tried our patience sore. The British will only tolerate being placed on mute for so long.

WE MUST NEVER LOSE THE ABILITY TO DISOBEY

We are trained from childhood to follow instructions. Hierarchism and authoritarianism require obedience. Individualism is regarded as a threat to social cohesion and is described pejoratively. There can be no greater test of our submission to the corporate ideal, than when our lives are under a threat, such as the Grenfell inferno, and we are being directed, by the authorities, in a manner contrary to our survival instinct and rational conclusion. These heartrending and affective testimonies must alert us, never to relinquish our own deductive responsibility that may mean, in extremis, we have to countermand an official directive. We must teach our children to obey, but also to disobey.

WHEN THE WORLD IGNORES CHILDREN'S REPORTS OF SEXUAL ABUSE FOR 17 YEARS

The victims of this unconscionable abuse must have felt a hint of hope that something would change, when a team of researchers heard their testimonies, 17 years ago. That nothing did was a monstrous betrayal. It illustrates, in the starkest manner, how the powerful can silence, conceal and discard even the most direct and telling accounts, with their self serving thresholds for evidence and their get out mechanisms for not being able to take action.

CHARITIES HAVE BECOME SEX HAVENS FOR PAEDOPHILES

Charities have been allowed to become sex havens for paedophiles, not least because of the give away statement by the UNHCR that sexual exploitation and abuse allegations lead to sanctions including summary dismissal "IF SUBSTANTIATED". Therein lies the invitation for abusers. They know that the vulnerable they abuse have no means to be able to lodge a complaint, nor any motivation to do so, as their safety and advantage lies in submission. The unpalatable reality is that we can have zero confidence that this outrage will be resolved.

A LOVE FILLED WEDDING

I took a love filled wedding in this glorious church on Saturday.
There were three things that made it especially remarkable.
The first, that the church, built in the 1880's, extracting so much money from the community, and at the cost of those who perished during its construction,  and as a symbol of the power, prestige and influence of the few, has now been emancipated from the control of denominations and their exclusive use policies and is available for anyone in the community. It has truly become a 'church', a gathering place of the people, as they share their humanity, their creativity and their lives, in a wholesome and positive manner.
The second, that the restrictive and judgmental control exercised by the church for centuries across this land, is disappearing. The terror struck into the hearts of ordinary people by the rector, vicar, parson, cleric who used their influence too often to gain personal advantage, even to abuse children, has been resigned to history. No clergy haunt the vaulted towers of this edifice and use it to vaunt their own status among the community.
The third, that this glorious building, so beautifully embellished for the wedding, was to witness the marriage of two men. What was unthinkable when I was a young curate in the Church of England, what was denounced as satanic, immoral and repulsive when I was at theological college, what was a criminal offence when I was a child and what I was the first to begin providing, back in 1994, to the shock and horror of the church and the ridicule of the likes of The Daily Mail, has now passed into the law of the country.
It was a day for particular celebration. A day that marked a comprehensive liberation from church oppression, a day that celebrated the inclusive and unconditional love of Jesus for everyone and a day that delighted in the wonder of the love between two men, committing themselves to one another in marriage.

ANDREW MCINTOSH - BEWARE THE DARKNESS

Andrew McIntosh claimed he was in a state of numb disbelief after the killing. Many voice similar sentiments when the evil within them has wreaked unexpected devastation. Operating within the zone of productive respectability, we can easily allow ourselves to be deluded that we are benign individuals, incapable of the horrors about which we read. Beware, such nonchalance. Living good and commendable lives is a life's work, during which, at all times, vigilance is essential to ensure the darkness within is contained and the issue of our lives is quality controlled.

THE PIGS UNDERLINE THE NEED FOR CONSTANT CCTV IN PUBLIC LIFE

With the demise of conscience and the collapse of traditional religious adherence, we have effectively disabled evolution's strategies to maintain the good behaviour patterns that assured one a place within the group. CCTV is now essential in all public life, as a modern replacement, to maintain standards of decency and morality. Without it, the elderly, the vulnerable, children and all of us, as well as the pigs are at high risk.

SAVE THE CHILDREN - WHEN THE POWERFUL CONCEAL ABUSE

It is utterly galling that a charity that had garnered the support of so many in the United Kingdom, can have been shown to have actually spent considerable amounts of donated money on trying to conceal abuse. The recent scandals to have hit the sector, particularly the collusion with child sexual abuse,  have precipitated a fatal crisis of confidence in charitable giving. Linked with the commercialisation of aid, the rise of highly paid charity executives, lucrative profits, career opportunities, religious vested interests and fund raising companies parasitically benefiting from the industry, the public would do well to steer clear, while awaiting major reform.

ARCHBISHOP CONVICTED OF FAILING TO REPORT CHILD ABUSE

The Archbishop held a position of trust and on his shoulders fell the responsibility to safeguard the most vulnerable, especially children. Instead he chose to protect his own reputation and that of the church and the paedophile adults involved, who, though priests, had dared to violate children. His conviction is a welcome boost in the struggle to safeguard children and a clear warning about the proper handling of child abuse and the consequences involved of failing to put children first.

IN 1997, WHEN I WAS ARRESTED FOR NAILING MY PROPOSALS FOR REFORM OF THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND ON THE DOOR OF CANTERBURY CATHEDRAL. WORDS ARE POWERFUL MESSAGES THAT CHALLENGE  CORRUPTION, CONFRONT THE WICKED AND CREATE A BETTER WORLD. JESUS IS THE WORD OF GOD AND HIS FOLLOWERS ARE CALLED  TO COMMUNICATE HIS WORDS,  IRRESPECTIVE OF THE COST.

THE GREAT CATHOLIC SCANDAL

How can there be any confidence, that the 4000 Sisters of the Good Shepherd, working presently in 70 countries around the world, are not responsible for similar heinous acts, if the order has withheld information, been uncooperative with investigators and avoided any criminal sanctions as a result of these outrages against children and their mothers?

BERCOW'S CREDIBILITY SPINS

Bercow's pugnacious self justification provides a vivid example of how words, intellect and a powerful, unaccountable position can be used to crush all around, including the pursuit of truth.

NAZANIN ZAGHARI-RATCLIFFE - BORIS JOHNSON MUST INTERVENE

After Boris Johnson's indefensible parliamentary blunder, it is incumbent on him and the government to secure her release.

ROYAL FAMILY NECTAR

We were all blessed by their sublime wedding and are now further uplifted by these exquisite photographs. Having had to witness so many upsetting periods in the life of the Royal Family, to share their jubilance in a time of milk and honey is a pure delight.

PLEASE NO MORE DAREDEVIL COPS ON OUR ROADS

An unwelcome move, when deaths from such high speed pursuits have tripled in four years. The public do not want their lives endangered by daredevil cops in macho mood wanting to satisfy offended egos by catching the one who dared not to stop for them, particularly when the majority of those being chased have infringed minor laws and receive modest or no sanctions. There are safer means available today to conduct discreet surveillance and apprehend dangerous criminals. The public do not want to bury their loved ones, because of a chase over a traffic offence.

KEN LIVINGSTONE IS LABOUR'S SCAPEGOAT

Public Life is impoverished when, in the face of urgently needed soul searching and reform, the powers involved identify a useful scapegoat and dispatch them to the wilderness, particularly when the difference between prejudice and analytical debate has been expediently fudged.

OUR FEEBLE PLASTIC BLEACHED XBOX SMARTPHONE MEDICATED RICH WORLD

We all need to reconnect with life. The Pied Piper of modernity has led us away to a feeble, plastic, bleached, Xbox, smartphone, medicated, rich world to meet our deaths, where the children that once climbed trees, rolled in mud, ate sandwiches with grimy fingers and built garden dens are no more.
