What does home mean at Christmas? While many of us associate it with warmth and belonging, people facing homelessness may experience isolation and loss.

In this video, Revd Dr Sam Wells explains how the #ChristmasAppeal helps people move into safety and rebuild their lives.

Watch his message and consider supporting the Appeal.

Cannot agree more with Rev Lucy Winkett. Such joyful news! We @smitf_london have benefitted much from @bishopSarahM’s ministry and leadership and send her our congratulations on her appointment. Be assured of our prayers!

Lucy Winkett (a priest in the ⁦@dioceseoflondon, so knows about her leadership style⁩) writes about ⁦@bishopSarahM⁩’s appointment as #ArchbishopofCanterbury. ⁦@OfficeofABC⁩

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

I welcome the appointment of @BishopSarahM as the new Archbishop of Canterbury and the first woman to hold the role.

I wish her every success and look forward to working together.

@lufthansa is there any plan to bring the new Allegris to the FRA-HKG route? Pretty please?

[Ivan 🇺🇦🏳️‍🌈🇭🇰 @IvanHFY]

…already in a stressful situation. Surely given the few days’ notice you can arrange extra flights to deal with the backlog resulting from the cancelled flights? There must be more you can do to help?

[Ivan 🇺🇦🏳️‍🌈🇭🇰 @IvanHFY]

@EmiratesSupport @emirates very disappointed by your customer service for my family who were due to fly from Hong Kong to Lisbon. Flight cancelled due to typhoon but you are only offering to rebook them on Emirates (no availability for coming week) when your website said you’d…

[Ivan 🇺🇦🏳️‍🌈🇭🇰 @IvanHFY]

Also help rebook onto other airlines’ flights. No attempt to look at flying from other airports near HKG. Plus no flexibility to just cancel the outbound leg and keep the return leg. Even though my parents have business class tickets! No way to treat your customers who are…

This was great fun! Saucy, silly and sharp, Ncuti Gatwa and Edward Bluemel really shine in this historical drama set in the late Tudor period reimagining the frenemy between Marlowe (who?! I hear you ask) and Shakespeare. #Theatre #play #drama #shakespeare #marlowe #WestEnd

[London Theatre Direct @theatre_direct]

✒️ REVIEW ✒️ Born With Teeth, starring Ncuti Gatwa and Edward Bluemel, is bold, brash, and utterly bewitching

[Ivan 🇺🇦🏳️‍🌈🇭🇰 @IvanHFY]

An intense, humorous but also gut-wrenching family’ drama set on a wedding day with social commentary on life in a post-mining town in the English Midlands. Brilliant, uncomfortable at times, but so relevant. Go see it before it closes! #theatre #play #drama #westend

@bishopSarahM @ViaFrancigenaEU I walked the same pilgrimage route when I finished school - it was such a beautiful journey, with wonderful hospitality en route. Then to arrive at the Eternal City was poignant- and I wasn’t ending with the Pope’s funeral! Many blessings & thank you for your ministry, +Sarah.

RIP @BBCRadio4 #NewsBriefing - thanks to all involved. A great snapshot of the morning’s news, wrapping up with #OnThisDayInEarlierYears, before #PrayerForTheDay. Perfect breakfast companion 4 many years, incl when I lived outside of the UK & felt comforted by familiar voices.

.@MayorofLondon @SebDance @London_Cycling we are trying to be environmentally friendly and #cycle around #London but @TfL just banned #ebikes and now @Tate wouldn’t allow bike batteries in. But batteries left on e-bikes would just get stolen. What are #cyclists supposed to do?!
