In “Do We Still Believe in the One Holy Catholic Church?”, Joshua Cockayne asks what is at stake for our ecclesiology when the language of “church” begins to shift, and considers its implications for what faithful mission might look like today.

A road trip to @York_Minster with @CranmerHall colleagues today for the consecration of the 3 new northern bishops. As a member of the interview panel, it was a particularly moving day seeing Simon Robinson consecrated as the new Bishop of Warrington.

Lovely to see our author Sarah Strand on @cranmerhall's Talking Theology podcast!
Sarah co-wrote Growing Together in Faith with Emma Parker, which was published in October.

I was fascinated to look at this book @bodleianlibs this afternoon, and will read it with interest when I’ve bought a copy. It seems almost like two of my books (‘For the Parish’ and ‘Participation in God’) met, fell in love, married, and had a baby. @SCM_Press

[Mission & Evangelism @MissionEva64550]

It is possible to pre-order my new book at @SCM_Press, #ChurchOfTheEmpire, now. A big thank you to those who contributed a chapter, I am humbled by your patience & insight.
