It will happen on a cold day in Hell
Paula Vennells served as the CEO of the British Post Office from 2012 to 2019. She is also ordained as a minister in the Church of England and has held various positions within the Anglican Church, including serving as a lay member of the General Synod, which is the legislative body of the Church of England. Vennells has been involved in various aspects of church leadership alongside her corporate career. However, it’s worth noting that her tenure at the Post Office was marked by controversy surrounding the handling of a faulty accounting system that resulted in hundreds of sub-postmasters being wrongly accused of theft and false accounting.
5 Church ‘Should Have Inquired More’ About Paula Vennells

23 feb 2024 LONDON
The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, has acknowledged that the Church of England did not adequately question the involvement of Paula Vennells, former Post Office boss and Anglican priest, in Church bodies amid the Horizon scandal.
In response to a written question to the General Synod, Welby admitted that more inquiries should have been made about Vennells’ positions on an ethical investment committee in 2019 and 2020, given the revelations about the Horizon scandal.
He refrained from confirming or denying whether Vennells was interviewed for the position of bishop of London, citing confidentiality.
Kevin O’Sullivan and Alex Phillips speak with political commentator Tatton Spiller.

Transcript at minute 8
By Guest Speaker Most Reverend Justin Welby
What is right and wrong, for it is well understood nowadays,
that to do wrong because you are obeying is not to escape responsibility.
‘Only obeying orders’ was the main defense presented by many of the defendants
in the Nuremberg war trials when the senior members of the Nazi government,
the Armed Forces, and secret police were put on trial for war crimes.
‘Only obeying orders’ is the excuse that people bring
when they have done something that they do not, in their heart of hearts,
feel was intrinsically right, but where they felt disempowered.
The story of Daniel 6 is very clear as to its subject.
7 Who Runs Our Lives? | Justin Welby
17 jul 2018
‘We are the servants of the Lord, as Jesus’ mother said, “Let it be unto me as the Lord decrees”. But the reality is that even if we say that, on the whole our daily practice is slightly different.’
Guest speaker Most Reverend Justin Welby continues our series in the book of Daniel, looking at who holds the ultimate authority over our world.
At minute 8: What is right and what is wrong?

I didn’t mean to bruise your heart
I’m so sorry it drove us this far apart
Drowning in a sea full of tears
I thought, we could’ve lasted for years
And I still do, wanna live my life with you
So throw me, throw me a lifeline, baby
Say, that I’m really sorry
Pick up the phone
And show me, show me you really want me
Hold me, love me, need me
I don’t wanna make this climb
People change, and I can try
Expectations I will defy
Girl, I’m begging on my knees
C’mon, c’mon, baby, please
So throw me, throw me a lifeline, baby
Say, that I’m really sorry
Pick up the phone
And show me, show me you really want me

Ik bedoelde niet om je hart te kwetsen
Het spijt me zo dat het ons zo ver uit elkaar heeft gedreven Verdrinkend in een zee vol tranen
Ik dacht dat we jaren hadden kunnen duren
En dat wil ik nog steeds, mijn leven met jou leven
Dus gooi me, gooi me een reddingslijn, schatje
Zeg dat het me echt spijt
Neem de telefoon op
En laat me zien, laat me zien dat je me echt wilt
Hou van me, heb me nodig
k wil deze klim niet maken
Mensen veranderen, en ik kan het proberen
Verwachtingen zal ik trotseren Meisje, ik smeek op mijn knieën
Kom op, kom op, schatje, alsjeblieft
Dus gooi me, gooi me een reddingslijn, schatje
Zeg dat het me echt spijt
Neem de telefoon op
En laat me zien, laat me zien dat je me echt wilt
Hou van me, heb me nodig
Ik wil deze klim niet alleen maken
She’s Always a Woman
by Billy Joel:
Ze kan doden met een glimlach,
Ze kan verwonden met haar ogen
Ze kan je geloof vernietigen met haar terloopse leugens
En ze onthult alleen wat ze wil dat je ziet
Ze verbergt zich als een kind,
Maar ze is altijd een vrouw voor mij
Oh, ze geeft nooit toe
Ze geeft nooit op
Ze verandert gewoon van gedachten
Ze zal je meer beloven
Dan de Tuin van Eden
Dan zal ze onverschillig weglopen
En lachen terwijl je bloedt
Maar ze zal het beste
En het slechtste in je naar boven halen
Geef jezelf de schuld
Want ze is altijd een vrouw voor mij
Oh, ze geeft nooit toe
Ze geeft nooit op
Ze verandert gewoon van gedachten
Ze is vaak vriendelijk
En ze is plotseling wreed
Ze kan doen wat ze wil
Ze is niemands dwaas
Maar ze kan niet veroordeeld worden
Ze heeft haar graad verdiend
Geef jezelf de schuld
Want ze is altijd een vrouw voor mij

Lyrics..
Goodbye England’s rose
May you ever grow in our hearts
You were the grace that placed itself
Where lives were torn apart
You called out to our country
And you whispered to those in pain
Now you belong to heaven
And the stars spell out your name
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never fading with the sunset
When the rain set in
And your footsteps will always fall here
Along England’s greenest hills
Your candle’s burned out long before
Your legend ever will
Loveliness we’ve lost
These empty days without your smile
This torch we’ll always carry
For our nation’s golden child
And even though we try
The truth brings us to tears
All our words cannot express
The joy you brought us through the years
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never fading with the sunset
When the rain set in
And your footsteps will always fall here
Along England’s greenest hills
Your candle’s burned our long before
Your legend ever will
Goodbye England’s rose
May you ever grow in our hearts
You were the grace that placed itself
Where lives were torn apart
Goodbye England’s rose
From a country lost without your soul
Who’ll miss the wings of your compassion
More than you’ll ever know
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never fading with the sunset
When the rain set in
And you footsteps will always fall here
Along England’s greenest hills
Your candle’s burned out long before
Your legend ever will

Please help me God, I feel so alone
I’m just a kid, how can I take it on my own?
I’ve cried too many tears, yeah, writing this song
Trying to fit in, where do I belong?
I wake up every day, don’t want to leave my home
My momma’s askin’ me why I’m always alone
Too scared to say, too scared to holler
I’m walking to school with sweat around my collar
I’m just a kid, I don’t want no stress
My nerves are bad, my life’s a mess
The names you call me, they hurt real bad
I want to tell my Mom
She’s havin’ trouble with my Dad
I feel so trapped, there’s nowhere to turn
Come to school
Don’t wanna fight, I wanna learn
So please Mr. Bully
Tell me what I’ve done
You know I have no Dad
I’m livin’ with my Mom
Just be hopeful, yes, I am hopeful for today
Take this music and use it
Let it take you away
And be hopeful, hopeful
And He’ll make a way
I know it ain’t easy, but that’s okay
Just be hopeful
Why do you trip every single day?
I didn’t ask to be born but now I have to pay
I ain’t got no money, you take all I have
When I give it to you, I search through my bags
I feel so scared when you shout me down
You kick me, punch me, throw me to the ground
When I ask you, “Yo, what have I done?”
You hit me again, and make fun of my Mom!
‘Cause I’m hopeful, yes, I am hopeful for today
Take this music and use it
(Check it out!)
Let it take you away
And be hopeful, hopeful
And He’ll make a way

Yo, Mr. Bully, help me please
I’m flesh and blood, accept me please
Hey, Mr. Bully, I don’t know what to do
My mind, it can’t explain what I did to you
Mr. Bully, take in all my pleas

Oh, oh…
Alsjeblieft God help me, ik voel me zo alleen
Ik ben ook maar een kind, hoe kan ik dit alleen doen?
Ik heb zo veel tranen gelaten, yeah, terwijl ik dit liedje schreef
Probeer erbij te horen, waar hoor ik?
Ik word elke ochtend wakker, wil mijn huis niet uit
Mijn moeder vraagt me waarom ik altijd alleen ben
Te bang om het te zeggen, te bang om om hulp te roepen
Ik loop naar school met ‘t zweet rond mijn kraag
Ik ben gewoon een kind, ik wil geen stress
Heb zo veel zenuwen, mijn leven is een zooi
De scheldnamen die je naar me roept, ze doen echt pijn
Ik wil het tegen mijn moeder vertellen
Ze heeft problemen met m’n vader
Ik voel me zo gevangen, ik kan nergens heen
Ga naar school
Ik wil niet vechten, ik wil leren
Dus alsjeblieft meneer de pestkop
Vertel me wat ik je aangedaan heb
Je weet dat ik ik geen vader heb
Ik woon bij mijn moeder
Dus wees hoopvol, ja, ik ben hoopvol voor vandaag
Neem de muziek en gebruik het
Laat het je even wegnemen van de rest
En wees hoopvol, hoopvol
En je zal je weg wel vinden
Ik weet dat het niet makkelijk is, maar dat is oké
Wees gewoon hoopvol
Waarom doe je elke dag zo tegen me?
Ik heb nooit gevraagd om geboren te worden, maar nu moet ik ervoor boeten
Ik heb geen geld, neem alles wat ik heb
Als ik het aan je geef, doorzoek ik mijn tas
Ik voel me zo bang als je naar me schreeuwt
Je schopt me, slaat me, duwt me tegen de grond
Wanneer ik je vraag ‘Yo, wat heb ik verkeerd gedaan?’
Sla je me weer en maak je grapjes over m’n moeder
Want ik ben hoopvol, ja, ik ben hoopvol voor vandaag
Neem de muziek en gebruik het
Laat het je even wegnemen van de rest
En wees hoopvol, hoopvol
En je zal je weg wel vinden
Ik weet dat het niet makkelijk is, maar dat is oké
Wees gewoon hoopvol
Wat ik draag is alles wat ik heb
We zijn ons huis verloren, alles wat we hebben zit in een tas
Yo, meneer de pestkop, help me alsjeblieft
Ik ben vlees en bloed, accepteer me alsjeblieft
Hey, meneer de pestkop, ik weet niet wat ik moet doen
Mijn gedachten, ze kunnen je niet vertellen wat ik fout gedaan heb
Meneer de pestkop, neem alles wat ik heb
Elke dag laat je me weer smeken
Dus wees hoopvol, ja, ik ben hoopvol voor vandaag
Neem de muziek en gebruik het
Laat het je even wegnemen van de rest
En wees hoopvol, hoopvol
En je zal je weg wel vinden
Ik weet dat het niet makkelijk is, maar dat is oké
Wees gewoon hoopvol
Trow me a Lifeline

The First Nation Residential Schools in Canada
For a period of more than 150 years, First Nations, Inuit and Métis Nation children were taken from their families and communities to attend schools which were often located far from their homes. More than 150,000 children attended Indian Residential Schools. Many never returned.
There were numerous reports of physical punishment, sexual abuse, malnutrition, and inadequate healthcare in these schools. The harsh living conditions, abuse, and neglect in residential schools resulted in significant trauma and impacted the mental, emotional, and physical health of the survivors.

Canada’s Dark Secret | Featured Documentary
In 1996, the last residential school in Canada was closed down, bringing to light horrifying stories about the methods used to sever indigenous children from the influence of their families and to assimilate them into the dominant “Canadian” culture. Over more than a century, tens of thousands of families were torn apart as children were kidnapped or forcibly removed from their homes
Residential schools were part of an extensive education system set up by the Canadian government and administered by churches with the objective of indoctrinating Aboriginal children into the Euro-Canadian and Christian way of life.
Bud Whiteye, a survivor of the Mohawk Institute Residential School, was “picked up” and taken to the school along with four other children as they walked along a public road to visit his grandmother.
I’m ashamed to say I’m Canadian because of what my government has done.
Ron Short, former RCMP officer
“They didn’t put us in a room and indoctrinate us all day long or anything like that,” he explains. “It was in the routine of the place.
“You didn’t speak anything but English. You went to the white man’s school. You went to the white man’s church. You wore white mens’ clothes. All those were built in. It wasn’t a classroom-type lecture. It was ingrained in the system.”
In 2008, the Canadian government launched the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC), which finally enabled survivors to give their testimonies on life in the residential schools. Abuse – mental, physical and sexual – was rife and, although research and statistics vary, it is estimated that 6,000 children died in these schools. Some evidence puts the casualties at three times that number.
After its formation, the TRC travelled around Canada for six years, gathering testimony from thousands who bore witness to the tragedies of the residential schools. Numerous “Aboriginal healing” programmes were put in place to help those affected to move on with their lives.

10 The Forgotten Maggies Official Documentary (52 min) Magdalene Laundries
Back to menu
1 apr 2016
Directed and Produced by Steven O’Riordan, The Forgotten Maggies follows the lives of several Magdalene women who left the institutions in Ireland and tried to obtain Redress for the abuse they suffered. It focuses on the human rights aspect surrounding the Magdalene Laundries, including an exploration of the High Park exhumation in Dublin, where 155 Magdalene women were exhumed in 1993.
The documentary was launched at the Galway Film Festival in 2009 and had its international premiere at The Cantor Film Centre in New York the same year. It was broadcast on Irish TV for the first time in 2011 and is the only Irish-made film on the subject matter.
The Irish Times said that “The Forgotten Maggies was an opportunity to “rectify” in some small way, the wrong that was visited upon these women over many years”, with the Irish Independent saying, “It took the persistence of documentary maker Steven O’Riordan and his team to secure justice.” The Forgotten Maggies gave the women political recognition, clearing the way for an official state apology to the survivors of Ireland’s Magdalene Laundries in 2013.
It was filmed in Ireland and the UK from 2006-2009, including Carlow, Wexford, Dublin, Kildare, Cork, Limerick, London and Bournemouth.
