A few days ago, I was at a meeting of the Southern Synod of the United Reformed Church (URC) in the UK. All very 'woke', I am delighted to say - the whole afternoon was devoted to looking at how the URC could "actively" address the legacies of colonialism and slavery. Lunch was vegan and both gluten- and lactose-free (meaning that everyone could enjoy the same simple - appropriate for Lent - food together) ... and delicious.

(For those who are interested, the URC was formed by the 'merger' of the Presbyterian Church of England, the Congregational Church of England and Wales, the Re-formed Association of Churches of Christ and the Congregational Union of Scotland, the process of 'merger' beginning 50 years ago. A noble initiative, in my view ...)

As a woke friend of mine mentioned, un-woke churches also need to make sure none of their members bear the mark of the beast (vaccinations, especially for COVID).
