Today’s thought is by Michael Ramsey
Abolition of capital punishment once and for all will help create a more civilized society. It will rebound to the advantage and honour of the nation.
Michael Ramsey, Archbishop of Canterbury from 1961-1974.
Speech, House of Lords, 18 December 1969
O God, your Son remained with his disciples after his resurrection, teaching them to love all people. As his disciples in this age, we offer our prayers on behalf of the universe in which we are privileged to live and our neighbours with whom we share it.
