@Rgt71Robert @ArchbishopSarah Yeah, there's a lot of unspoken dynamics at play with the strategic money. Ecumenical work with the CofE structures is, in my experience, getting harder - and this is one of the reasons why.

In the Lords gallery this afternoon, and delighted to see @Jacqui_Smith1 on the red benches to answer some questions! #forthemanyforever

@FightingTalk316 @rickedwards1 @K_CroydenSmith @HarryAA100m @rosentweets With @FightingTalk316 consistently only finding room for one female panellist per show, where is sport will women's participation see the biggest leap forward in 2026?

[David Mayne @DavidRMayne]

Same.

How I envy the Roman church with their glamorous way of choosing a new leader. Ours is so dull and bureaucratic, seemingly more consultative but not really. And they do it so quickly. Ours is going to take an age.

@BethjAllison @wearedeclaring So lovely to work with you in an official capacity! Hopefully the first of many.

[David Mayne @DavidRMayne]

@shaunobrien_ Great! Will send over some info when I get organised. They’ll love having you with them.

[David Mayne @DavidRMayne]

@shaunobrien_ You up for preaching in a non-Anglican setting sometime? I've got an affirming Baptist church currently without a minister who have just asked me to help find them some people for their Sunday services ...

[David Mayne @DavidRMayne]

@_mikeroyal Thanks for coming to Norwich to share the occasion with us! Much appreciated.

[David Mayne @DavidRMayne]

@JayneOzanne @JayneOzanne this is thoroughly excellent. So pleased you've been honoured in this way.
Your address was just the right encouragement and challenge for me today too.
Cheering you on, my friend.

[David Mayne @DavidRMayne]

@shaunobrien_ Ooh, following with interest. What sort of books you after?

[David Mayne @DavidRMayne]

@Jerryparr Good point!

The problem is, many of the people in need of saving are in churches, and at least part of what they need saving from is the idea that God sees the world the same way they do.

@shaunobrien_ Well, this looks excellent!

[David Mayne @DavidRMayne]

@AndyFitchet I watch @JuliaGillard's speech at least twice a year. #classic #inspiring

[David Mayne @DavidRMayne]

Sat down crying listening to the final @forthemanypod with @Jacqui_Smith1, and I’m so grateful for the past 6.5 years of the podcast. @Jacqui & @IainDale have been a constant joy and whilst I’m a little bereft at the moment, I’m glad to have found this podcast community. #tyfayd

@JayneOzanne @RegentOxford Excellent!

[David Mayne @DavidRMayne]

@BethjAllison @RNIB Excellent news! And a fine first choice of word 🚗
