Think of the most vulnerable person you know and vote as you think best.

Casting down the mighty from their thrones and lifting up the lowly.
He has filled the hungry with good things
and sent the rich away empty.

URGENT! Pls share. The last chance to register to vote in the General Election is 11.59pm tomorrow Tue 18 June. Potentially 8m aren't registered at their current address. Here's 4 key facts...

1) You can do it online here https://t.co/i4FhJoAXfK
2) It's good for your finances. Not being on electoral roll can make it more difficult to be accepted for credit products like bank accounts or mortgages.
3) You can opt out of the 'Open Register' (which allows your info to be sold on) which will stop you getting junk mail marketing )
4) You'll need ID when you do vote (not to register) if you don't have it, you can get it free until Wed 26 June https://t.co/9bfL3hw3CV

I'd love to nurture a worshipping community that is primarily a social hub that builds a church shaped by those within it, rather than planted from 'church folk', but I'm struggling to find inclusive, progressive, centrist versions in my diocese. All guidance welcome! #ministry

@pedalsandgears Or ... how can I encourage enthusiasm and also help him with listening skills and acknowledging what he doesn't yet know... as well as nurturing a healthy sense of humour?

Hoping church leaders will take up the Tutu Challenge this coming year and stand up unapologetically, but with grace and humour, for freedom, justice, rights of minorities and the overlooked: “Neutrality is taking the side of the oppressor”

@Jerryparr Haha I bet there are some photos from my yoof which prove otherwise ;)

[Laura McAdam @LMcAdam]

Sometimes bandwagons mean you feel part of something, even when you're quite isolated. Plus I was just asked to take my cassock off after a wedding so a family could take a photo with my jumper so that's, weird... #TeamBelieve #bandwagon #alltheministers #notademand #justajumper

@SorrelMayWood @paulargooder January. Im at houseproofing stage for a 5 year old, everything is a potential death trap or weapon....

[Laura McAdam @LMcAdam]

@SorrelMayWood @paulargooder I can confirm that making room for a new life to parent without pregnancy also involves a lot of reordering and making so much space and preparing others ... and clearing out shoes.

[Laura McAdam @LMcAdam]

I find myself caring deeply about who comes and serves here, I spent 80% of my time with non church goers, have been held so wonderfully by the church folk and these communities really want us here! An innovative, listening, 'main work is during the week' priest will thrive here.

[Laura McAdam @LMcAdam]

https://t.co/YonekIVikV Genuinely cool job in actually wonderful place, if you're wondering if you can find a cluster of churches with no toxic or power hungry folk here is the proof, I love them. And the potential for exciting innovative stuff is huge across contexts.

[Laura McAdam @LMcAdam]

Wearing a dog collar round these parts is a privilege and warmly received and opens doors, and there is so much cake... and I'm a DELIGHT to work with. #clergyjob #exeterdiocese #devonvicar
