We know who our money is on @carolJhedges! The One who saves us from the floodwaters! @episcopalmn @robtitchner

[St Stephens Ambridge @AmbridgeChurch]

Just been talking to @episcopalmn about the potential pastoral work coming their way. @robtitchner #thearchers #nearlytime

[St Stephens Ambridge @AmbridgeChurch]

Often the further away the better @Felpercathedral, we've got a few 'minor' pieces of work need doing #archdconf17

[St Stephens Ambridge @AmbridgeChurch]

@Felpercathedral Merging parishes always a thorny issue. The desire has to come from PCCs themselves... nobody likes a dictatorial diocese!

[St Stephens Ambridge @AmbridgeChurch]

@Felpercathedral Alan has 4 parishes, with their PCCs & APCMs. A pretty small group in the country so we hear! @HerefordDiocese #thearchers

[St Stephens Ambridge @AmbridgeChurch]

Alan still musing on his meeting with Rob. Having the cure of souls can be a tricky business. #PrayersUp #thearchers

[Felpersham Cathedral @Felpercathedral]

"No one is beyond redemption." Well said Vicar. Good to know you'll keep in touch. Tricky pastoral matter. @AmbridgeChurch #TheArchers

@Felpercathedral The PCC discussed erecting a yurt in the churchyard last night #thearchers #spiritualvoidgate #freshexpression

[St Stephens Ambridge @AmbridgeChurch]

@Felpercathedral Think they're words of forgiveness we can all take to heart! #thearchers

Just confirm we'll be ringing a quarter peal for the "not guilty" verdict. Helen Delight Minor @ccringing #thearchers

[St Stephens Ambridge @AmbridgeChurch]

We're all called to reduce, reuse, recycle @helencyb SWs just follwing sound stewardship principles with plots #thearchers #lillianttriangle

[Louisa Walls @LouisaWalls3]

Too much Resurgan. Again #thearchers

[St Stephens Ambridge @AmbridgeChurch]

Thanks for that image @bagofthedevil! @shimmy41a

[St Stephens Ambridge @AmbridgeChurch]

The PCC would be very happy I host such a #referendum debate. What do you think @BBCTheArchers?@Xians4EU @Felpercathedral @janemartinson

[St Stephens Ambridge @AmbridgeChurch]

@Felpercathedral @BBCTheArchers @Sadgrovem We had a Eucharist at 7pm this evening. See the day that sees him rise! #Ascension #thearchers
