Demonstration following Manchester bombing

There was a protest held for the memorial of Manchester attack victims on Thursday 25th May. This took place in Centenary Square, Bradford.

Many people from different religions and races attended this memorial. There were a lot of flowers and candles in the memory of the victims.

As these photographs show, those attending included: the Bishop of Bradford, Rt Rev Toby Howarth; Bradford MPs Naz Shah and Imran Hussain; the ex-Lord Mayor, Rev Geoff Reid and the current Lord Mayor, Cllr Abid Hussain, Saleem and Joyce Dutt, Pastor Joel, Mrs Anjum and many other ministers from different Churches. A group representing the Bradford South Asian Forum was there to show their respect and support. There were a lot of police in evidence, for the safety of Bradford.

It was great to see everybody standing together to show solidarity against terrorism and to prove that such incidents will not drive us apart.

Saleem and Joyce D, St Andrew’s

Prayer and trafficking In prayer (as in all discipleship) we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against the ‘powers of darkness’ led by the devil (Eph 6:11-12). He always deceives to destroy (John 8:44), and we can use this knowledge in our praying. Take human trafficking, for example: Deception : ●Riches are used as a lure, offering a better way of life (we’ve been similarly hoodwinked for a long time) but you can’t serve God and money (Mt 6:24). ●There’s often corruption of officialdom by bribery. ●Blatant lies are told to victims, and probably to ‘customers’ – ●who’re duped to see sex as a god of satisfaction, ●and who’re obviously cheating on their wives, to whom they have made marriage vows. Marriage is a gift of God, to be honoured (Gen 1:24; Mt 19:15; Heb 13:4). ●You may be able to add other points.
