@audibleuk 4. God is an Englishman by Bijan Omrani

I really enjoyed this look at the Christian roots of English (and British, Irish, and Western) society. Lots of fascinating details to discover. Well worth a read or a listen. @BijanOmrani

I find it helpful to keep a record of the books I’ve read. Here’s the 2026 reading list.

@audibleuk 3. Unapologetic by Francis Spufford

An intriguing and infuriating book! There is a lot to commend in seeking to communicate a defence of Christianity but I didn’t always agree with the way it’s argued, its theological conclusions, nor the strong language used.

@thevicarswife 2.4 here!

@2D0XPS The Bishop of Cork, Cloyne & Ross was 39 when consecrated.

@thevicarswife @MadsDavies We’ve had a couple in the Church of Ireland. Bishop Richard Henderson (Tuam) moved to become a vicar in England in 2011. Bishop Darren McCartney (Suffragan in Arctic) returned to parish ministry in Ireland in 2019.

@jonnypollock @LittleLauraMcK If you’re looking for locations of former C of I churches, a friend’s Flickr account probably has loads of them geotagged. Current C of I churches are all on Google maps (in case you still need them).

New on the blog:

Sermon: Romans 5: 12-21 Grace abounding.

[Garibaldi McFlurry @GaribaldiMcF]

I haven’t blogged for a long time. I’m considering starting to share my sermons again, hoping they’ll be a blessing to someone. Here’s what I said this morning.

36. Timothy Keller by Collin Hansen

A good biography of Tim Keller with a particular focus on the people who influenced and formed him into the pastor and theologian he became - seeing God at work through it all. @collinhansen
