It is not that I am against the Russian people but in the Economist Magazine for this week is an article headed, “Is Putin the new Stalin?” He and his supporters instill fear into their own people. We should not fund Putin’s war mongering.

What massive damage is this war doing to the environment never mind the deaths on both sides. Innocent people in Ukraine. Soldiers who are also people on both sides. This war is madness

The UK government must stop importing Russian gas, to do that they must deliver an Emergency Energy Package. Call on the government to act.

26 January - Day of Prayer for Peace in Ukraine
In response to Pope Francis’ appeal below and the growing tensions in Ukraine we will have a holy half hour from 11.30 to 12 noon before mass, tomorrow, Wednesday. Please forward this message to let as many people as possible know.

Pope Francis calls for a day of prayer for peace over the Ukraine situation expressing concern over the increasing tensions that threaten peace in Ukraine, Pope Francis calls for Wednesday 26 January to be a day of prayer for peace.

At the conclusion of Sunday's midday Angelus, Pope Francis expressed his concerns over the increasing tensions that threaten to overturn chances for peace in Ukraine and security on the European continent in general, given the wider repercussions of any conflict. In response, the Pope has proposed that next Wednesday 26 January be a day of prayer for peace.
“I make a heartfelt appeal to all people of good will to raise prayers to Almighty God that all political actions and initiatives may be at the service of human brotherhood rather than partisan interests.”
