'So let us be a Stephen church. A church that names injustice and refuses to be silent. A church that speaks truth even when the world closes its ears. A church that sees heaven opened and Christ standing beside the oppressed. A church that forgives even in the face of betrayal. A church that lives not for safety or success, but for the glory of God revealed in a crucified and risen Christ.' - Simon Woodman preaching on the stoning of Stephen from Acts 6-7.
