St Paul's pillar & Kyriaki Chrysopoliissa in Paphos, Cyprus. The church was shut for maintenance of the archeological ruins. The mosaic pavements &baths for rituals could still be seen.

Lest we forget. Today we remembered those of a small village near to us, including the HMS Glorious, Ardent & Acasta ships that were lost in WW2. #ocac_bishop #liberalcatholicsuk #bishopadrianoldca

Bishop Adrian spoke today about being a new church, from a building that until recently was part of the denomination called 'New Church' and is now a place of worship for a different Christian Church.

Today is the 200th anniversary of railways, 27th September 1825 saw the first passenger service on the Stockton & Darlington Railway, in north east England. I've chosen this picture (from last week!) for the occasion. #ocac_bishop #oldcatholicapostolicchurch #liberalcatholicsuk

We just had our virtual meeting about OCAC Auxiliary Synod in just a couple of weeks time. This picture is not where it will be! But we held 'Court' and about church... 😊

In this Jubilee year we have noticed that wild crops have been abundant. Bishop Adrian is under the oak tree he often prays under. Let us pray that the OCAC's outreach will be just as fruitful. "For the leaves of the tree shall be for the healing of the nations" Revelation 22:2

We were going to sing praises and pray in this church today for a Facebook live...but there was no signal whatsoever. #ocac_bishop #ocac #oldcatholicapostolicchurch #liberalcatholicsuk

Bishop Adrian of the Old Catholic Apostolic Church says: This is the day that the Lord has made. We shall rejoice and be glad in it. 😊🙏

Lovely memory! Bishop Adrian (centre) amongst the wonderful clergy of OCAC Nigeria during his visit to Abuja for the Nigerian Synod in 2016. Old Catholic Apostolic Church Worldwide

[Bishop Adrian @OCAC_bishop]

Can't say I'm flying home, but we'll be back tomorrow (24th) afternoon. Then we can start to share the pics and news from Synod. We have lots of exciting news and much for us all to do for Christ.

St George's Cathedral on Nablus Rd, Jerusalem. Been inside the compound all day. It is Jerusalem day (Yom Yerushalayim) & there have been celebrations & a few clashes too in the Old City. Spent the day singing & praying in the Cathedral. #ocac_bishop #oldcatholicapostolicchurch

This is the altar at St George's Cathedral, Jerusalem (Episcopal). It is so wonderful to see the altar of uncut stones represented in it. Exodus 20:25.

This evening we prayed with and blessed bishop elect Emmanuel, as well as Bishop Peter of OCAC Nigeria ahead of consecrations in June. The network in Nigeria was poor so we could only speak to 2. The other 3 we will be blessing later. The joys of a worldwide dispersed church. 🙏

A burial at sea, well, urn of ashes placed today. My Great-aunt Yvonne Trimlett Glover we laid to rest in the water she lived and worked in...

This morning was a joy to be a passenger in the Parish Eucharist of St Mary's church in Swanage. We had church business to do immediately afterwards nearby. Pictured here with Revd. Ian Bird and CDM's Bishop Elaine.

Easter Day. He is Risen! ...and the miracle of all miracles was first discovered in a garden. #ocac_bishop #oldcatholicapostolicchurch #liberalcatholicsuk

Good Friday. The altar is bare. Now we wait....

Bishop Adrian consecrated Holy Oils & Chrism today. As a dispersed church out in the streets, wards, hospices, workplaces & homes, our volunteer clergy - professional yet unpaid - will use these to bring the Grace & mercy that none of us deserve, to anyone that needs them.

Nearly Holy Week. Nearly Passover for Messianic Jews & Christians. Sunset today, Passover begins...and I follow a Jewish Rabbi from Nazareth who was part time & unpaid, like us in OCAC! The post is on our social media groups. #ocac_Bishop #ocac_bishop #oldcatholicapostolicchurch

Bishop Adrian speaks about Lent on the first Sunday in Lent. It's about giving up jealousy, selfishness, judgementalism and arrogance. We can't convince God to save us by our actions, Christ has already done it all for us. His video is on OCAC Facebook groups. #ocac_bishop
