A nice morning welcoming Archbishop of York to St George's Crypt & Lighthouse WY

The Diocese of Leeds are celebrating their 10th Birthday today. As part of his visit he joined us for a Lighthouse style church service, chatted to our community and found out about the work of the Crypt.

Wonderful to celebrate 10 years of Lighthouse in Leeds at a special service. “Where God’s love is, change happens.”

Love looks like something Lighthouse WY

10 years. Blessed

This is a sensitive, wise, non-sensational and victim-centred documentary. Amazing work from Matt, Beth, Amy and everyone else involved - which will have come at a huge emotional cost.

Selling arms to a country committing war crimes is criminal.

Selling arms to a country under investigation by an international court for genocide is a betrayal of basic morality.
