Anglican Church commits £100m for involvement in slavery

Ghana News
The Anglican Church has announced the commitment of £100 million as its show of remorse for its past involvement in the transatlantic slave trade. The money will go into investments in various forms in countries such as Ghana and those in the West Indies. The Archbishop of Canterbury, Most Rev. and Rt Hon. Justin Portal Welby, announced this when he paid a courtesy call on President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo at the Jubilee House in Accra last Tuesday. Most Rev. Welby, the spiritual leader of the Anglican Church, is in the country to attend the 18th Consultative Council meeting of 165 countries and said one of the issues that the meeting had been discussing was human sexuality and identity. In June 2022, a committee established by the church reported for the first time that t...

Pastor dies attempting 40-day Jesus fast

International
A Mozambican pastor has died after fasting for 40 days, in an attempt to copy what Jesus Christ is said to have done in the Bible. The death of Francisco Barajah, the pastor and founder of the Santa Trindade Evangelical Church in the central province of Manica, was confirmed on Wednesday. He died while being treated at hospital in Beira where he was evacuated in critical condition. After 25 days of fasting, he had lost a lot of weight to a point where he could not stand up, bathe or walk. Days later, at the insistence of relatives and believers, he was taken to a hospital but attempts to get him back to health were unsuccessful. Believers at his church and his neighbours have been unsurprised at the turn of events, due to his extreme weight loss and disfigured body frame in...

Visiting green spaces 3-4 times weekly may lower your need for meds, according to new study

Health & Wellbeing, Lifestyle & Social
Hanging out in a local park, lake, or garden really could be an antidote to ill health for people who live in cities, according to a recent study from Finland. Researchers found lower use of drugs for depression, anxiety, insomnia, high blood pressure, and asthma among urban residents who often visit green spaces—regardless of their income or level of education. The Finnish team said that the frequency of visits to urban green spaces, rather than simply viewing them from your house, was key. Previous studies have suggested that exposure to natural environments is good for health and well-being, but the evidence is inconsistent. The Finnish team looked at the number of green and blue spaces (bodies of water) within a community, then compared those to both the frequency of visit...
