Episode 7 of a series of reflective podcasts by the Bishop of Oxford , the Rt Revd Dr Steven Croft is out today.

Each episode aims to resource the Church during the period of lockdown and hundreds of people are tuning in each week.

This week Bishop Steven reflects on the terrible events taking place in America:

"The coronavirus pandemic has led the news bulletins every single day from mid March.

But on 31st May, a different - though related - story at last broke through.

Six days earlier an African American man named George Floyd was arrested by police.

Tragically, George died in police custody.

At the heart of the riots that have followed is a cry - a cry for justice.

We need to remember as a society our deep instincts of fairness and goodness and justice.

Psalm 7 is a very good place to begin and it is a prayer for help. . ."
