"Simply telling individuals that they must repent of their personal sins to be acceptable to God and God’s people is a distortion of the forgiveness that should be shaping us together into communities of love, restoration, transformation and wholeness." - Simon Woodman

"Racism is not sustained only by overt hostility, it is sustained by habits of disbelief. By systems that decide in advance whose testimony is credible and whose requires verification. By assumptions about who needs evidence and who is believed by default. Today's stories of the healing of the Centurion's Daughter, and Naaman the Syrian, ask an uncomfortable question of us: Whose word do we trust?" - Revd Dr Simon Woodman.
