Morning Worship
World Press Freedom
3rd May 2018
Bishop Justus Church of England School

3. Let the light of Christ shine in our lives
Gather
The Lord be with you
And also with you
Let the light of Christ shine in our lives

4. Receive
Let no evil talk come out of your mouths, but only what is useful for building up, as there is need, so that your words may give grace to those who hear.
From Paul’s letter to the Ephesians, chapter 4, verse 29

5. Engage
Every year, 3 May is a date which celebrates the fundamental principles of press freedom; to evaluate press freedom around the world, to defend the media from attacks on their independence and to pay tribute to journalists who have lost their lives in the exercise of their profession.

6. Engage Video suggestion … https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DoiTsssVC0s
Some discussion ideas …
Do you think journalists should be able to write about anything they want?
Why is it important to have independent (not state-controlled) journalism?
Activity suggestion …
Design a class newspaper, decide in small groups what sort of articles you might want to put in your newspaper.

7. Respond
[Reflect for a minute on the worship theme and our engagement …]
Lord God,
protect those who share news and information
especially in places where there is little
or no press freedom.
Help us to be accurate, honest and discerning
when we share news,
not seeking to harm
but rather to help others.
Amen

8. Go out into the world with the light of Christ
Let us bless the Lord
Thanks be to God
Go out into the world with the light of Christ
