In Penzance this morning to meet Keno, the Chilean administrator at St Mary's Church. Keno has loads of ideas about issues around migration. His own experience is intriguing. We're thinking of organising a focus group in February to bring together people like him to have thoughts to share. It would be a really valuable thing to do. It will feed into plans for the schools workshops we'll be running over the next few months.
An added to bonus to see a Christian Aid exhibition at the church on displacement.
And to bump into the tireless Andrew Yates, vicar at St Paul, who has helped us so much with I PACKED THIS MYSELF over the past decade now.
Andrew and members of the congregation were off to HSBC bank to present a petition to the manager. Christian Aid is calling on HSBC to reconsider their investment in new coal power in Bangladesh, Indonesia and Vietnam. The charity says that coal-fired electricity is unlikely to reach poor and isolated communities in these countries, who would be better served by renewable energy.
