• Where is the church’s voice in supporting the return to the UK of Shamima Begum and her young son (Report, 28 February)? Are we not aware of the parable of the prodigal son, the younger son being welcomed back by his father after leaving home and squandering his inheritance (Luke 15:11-32)? Or are we more content to act as the belligerent elder son resentful of the welcome given to his returning brother?
