Early summer 2020 saw a series of anti-racism demonstrations in the UK, sparked initially by the murder of a black man, George Floyd, by white police in the USA.

But let's all come with humility and grace and listen to our brothers and sisters. In the words of James the Apostle: "everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry."
