In this week's Methodist podcast:

• In addition to the advice for UK churches, we speak to British Methodists living in Rome and Bethlehem who are in lock-down.
• To mark this week’s anniversary of the war in Syria, we talk to a family of refugees who have been given a home by the Methodist Church in Birmingham thanks to the Community Sponsorship programme.
• We review the Joint Public Issues Team conference from last weekend and talk to some of those were present about how churches can have an influence politicians around environmental issues.
