Fabulous day @UCI_Track Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome. #UCIWorldChampionships were special- amazing athletes. So frustrated spectators information was inaccurate. There is a big difference between ‘no commercial photography’ and ‘you’re not allowed a camera with a detachable lens.

@bluefin040 Now you’re just showing off.

No ‘in-person’ worship tonight, but a joy to celebrate the incarnation with my online Cafechurch community. And now to celebrate with you all #ClergyMaltClub

Great to be welcoming new ministry candidates to our Candidates Gathering. #ChurchOfScotland #newministers

@mathewjguest Thanks for watching this so we didn’t have to! If the outcomes weren’t so serious it would be hilarious.

Drawing maps and thinking about the places that we see God at work. Having fun with @churchscotland probationers #maps #mission

Great to be worshipping in the newly reordered Springfield church. Fantastic, imaginative space to celebrate Pentecost

[Matt Ward @MattWardFife]

@midgedancer That shows serious commitment to dancing. Hope you’re back in action soon.

@LifeWorkEditor @churchscotland Patterns of life, geographical connection and belonging for younger people are not particularly well aligned with ordination to eldership. Something needs to change....

[Matt Ward @MattWardFife]

@revtopsy What’s mad is the timescale - less than a week to select a complete set of trustees to lead through such complex change. Surely a little less haste would serve well.

[Matt Ward @MattWardFife]

@DougGay It was encouraging to hear mention of collaborative bids. To get the IME we need is going to require imagination and hard work. But it’s an exciting opportunity...

@ProfPMiddleton Brevity and clarity are admirable qualities in theology. But should the Kirk be putting more priority (and time) into theology?

Chaplains found to have significant positive impact on life of university students.

The research is based on 400 uni chaplains and religious organisations and nearly 200 students. One student reported chaplaincy “has been central to my uni experience”.

And here He shows the full extent of love
To us whose love is always incomplete,
In vain we search the heavens high above,
The God of love is kneeling at our feet.
