The Diocese of Exeter is suspending its use of X because this platform no longer aligns with our Christian values. While we have sought to be ‘salt and light’ in this space, we now feel that we can do this best by leaving. Find us instead on Bluesky: @cofedevon.bsky.social
We will continue to pray for X and every other social media platform to be places of kindness, where every person is treated with dignity and respect because they are precious and made in the image of God. @churchofengland#goodbye
