@CHatzaw I’ve met people who were ordained because they wanted a respectable job/to follow in daddy’s footsteps/they knew the Bishop well/couldn’t think what else to do, that kind of thing. I’d hope they don’t make up the majority, though.

@L_Marsh21 @hinsley_revrob I think, in some churches at least, you’d then become part of the “them”, those who are ministered to, rather than part of the “us” who minister.

@emilyelister Gave me nightmares

This week, I attended the John of the Cross: Carmel, Desire, and Transformation conference at @StMarysIoT. I heard some great papers, and even delivered one of my own, receiving really useful feedback. It was also a real privilege to be able to attend a conference in person!

[School of Divinity @uoedivinity]

Gemma King – ‘The writings of Anna Buchan and the Clerical Novel Tradition’ and Emma Mavin – ‘Desire and the Transformation of Suffering in John of the Cross and Catherine of Siena’ [2/6]

@BarbaraFBrad There should always be more weird Catholic stuff!

It was an honour to help organise the Colloquium, and to have the opportunity to give my paper.

Today we held our annual @uoedivinity Postgraduate (PG) Colloquium. Our PG students presented brilliant papers and our Rector @DKAYEMBE gave an inspiring speech about tackling racism @EdinburghUni. Special thanks to @EmmaWildWood1 and @CatholicSara for making it possible.

@DrPJLennon I'm getting mine tomorrow!

[Emma Mavin @Emma_Mavin]

@VicAnneTurner We did - it came with some kind of qualification we were told never to mention to universities!

[Emma Mavin @Emma_Mavin]

@ellisamitylight I'm hoping for hybrid - I'm looking forward to attending things in-person, but I've been able to attend many more conferences virtually this year than I otherwise would, so I'd like to see a both/and option!

@taylorholleyman I thought indenting first lines was no longer the done thing, till I came back to Edinburgh and had to start doing it in essays!

[Emma Mavin @Emma_Mavin]

@VicAnneTurner I should probably sort myself out with one of those someday.

@taylorholleyman Ah, that's it - we don't have that sort of trouble in Leith!

[Emma Mavin @Emma_Mavin]

@taylorholleyman No one tries to convert me...should I be worried? 😁

[Emma Mavin @Emma_Mavin]

@jbralston Meetings and emails...I’m a student, I feel like I should be lying drunk in a gutter instead.

[Emma Mavin @Emma_Mavin]

@irobyn I will - thank you!
