"Radio #France #International reported that Andorra’s [PM] Xavier Espot Zamora has 'indicated he hopes to decriminalise #abortion within a year, though not necessarily legalise it,' but the microstate’s #governance setup involving a #Catholic #bishop makes it tricky. During today’s speech as Andorra’s co-prince, #Macron is expected to... back the changes, as well as endorse plans for #Andorra to ratify its #association #agreement with the #EuropeanUnion."

    Hey, In the Beginning blurb, they have names! Malcolm and Randall! 😏

  3. A New Hampshire Episcopal bishop's stark warning to his clergy is resonating across the nation, drawing fervent praise from some and rebukes from others.

    #Bishop #Rob #Hirschfeld was one of several community and faith leaders gathered in Concord, N.H., for a vigil for #Renee #Good just days after she was fatally shot by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent in Minneapolis.

    Hirschfeld called out the
    "cruelty, the injustice and the horror … unleashed in Minneapolis,"
    and warned his clergy to prepare for
    ⭐️ "a new era of martyrdom."

    🔥"I've asked them to get their affairs in order to make sure they have their wills written,"
    he said,
    "because it may be that now is no longer the time for statements,
    💥but for us with our bodies to stand between the powers of this world and the most vulnerable."

    Hirschfeld's comments quickly went viral.

    The Reverend Jason Wells,
    a community organizer who regularly prays outside ICE offices, said he and many others took it as a great relief
    – and a validation of sorts
    – to hear the bishop speaking openly about the mounting anxiety felt by faith leaders around the nation
    who've been stepping up their public prayers and protests against ICE,
    and getting pelted with #pepper #rounds,
    #roughed #up and #arrested.

    "People feel like he's giving voice to a feeling in the pit of their stomach about what is going on,"
    said Wells.

    🔸"It's a relief to hear him naming a concern that I've had on my mind for a while."

    The Reverend Betsy Hess of St. Barnabas Episcopal Church in Berlin, N.H. added her voice to the chorus of "amens"
    and immediately emailed the bishop to thank him.

    Hess believes clergy "need to quit just being polite Episcopalians,
    and get out there and do stuff."

    But exactly what she would do,
    and what level of risk she's willing to take,
    is something she's still figuring out.

    "It used to be that …
    you might go to jail,
    and now you might get shot!

    So it makes us need to be a lot more brave," she said.

    "I hope I would be brave,
    but I can't promise that I would be able to.

    But definitely, it's time to move beyond
    'I won't do anything that has any risk whatsoever.'"

    Others, however, took issue with the bishop's words.

    "My initial reaction is 'Oh boy, this isn't diffusing tension at all.
    This feels like a war cry,"
    said the Reverend Tom Gartin

    "I didn't sign up to be a martyr," he said.

  7. TIL: the ANU is awash with #CASH:
    “But here is the paradox: while education and staffing were cut, ANU’s financial wealth kept growing. By 2023, the university held over $2B in financial assets and recorded $3.4B in total net assets. It continued to run cash surpluses despite reporting accrual accounting deficits”

    AND that the financial crisis making the news and resulting in over 450 staff losses and plans to close some faculties are a direct result of the application of accrual accounting. This is an accounting practice that is necessary to run a business responsible to shareholders — but CANNOT be applied to education institutions which have a different raison d’etre and report to society (via parliaments).

    #Managerialism and #NeoClassicEconomics responsible for the #FailedGovernance of ANU is made worse by the #Council’s use of ANU funds in speculative and #RealEstate investments partly funded by borrowings (Debt). These #NeoLiberal Council forays in #Productivism and #Capitalism are NOT core business to Universities. Not only is this the Absolutely Wrong Governance model to run a Uni, but it is currently grossly #Mismanaged and noone is taking responsibility for this, least of all #JulieBishop the #Chancellor of ANU.

    Take a break and read the article, it is well written and explains much of what is going on. Furthermore, it provides the reasons why #Bishop should go and a sorely needed change to #Governance processes and responsibilities. If #JasonClaiMP can’t see this he’s a #FailedMinister
