I couldn't be more blessed with my choice of Priest to "preach me in" elegantly crafted & utterly charmed my congregation- he's been one of my biggest cheer leaders throughout this last few years - I've been very lucky with you as a mentor, mate and all round classy gent ❤️🎊

Congratulations and thanks to @Punkdimmitis who presided with a gloriously confident humility this morning, in front of God, me, and the 7 retired clergy in the congregation, who've settled among the squirrels and sand dunes. Some fertile conversations afterwards about my sermon.

Featuring a splendid sermon by Mark Chapman; music by Merbecke, and Ralph Vaughan Williams; and me, looming, beside @Punkdimmitis.

Happy Pride Month! 🏳️‍🌈 We’re kicking off the celebrations with a dash of total chaos.
Flashback to 1995, when the legendary Lily Savage hijacked a #ThisMorning wine tasting session as only she could. 🍷
Here’s to a Pride Month that’s just as vibrant, unfiltered, and fun as Lily!

@P_G_Anderson It's a strange angle to watch oneself from, isn't it?

I hadn't realised how graceful I was. I mean, Like bambi on ice.

@P_G_Anderson Your words are a gift

[Philip Anderson @P_G_Anderson]

Off to hear my old tutor, Mark Chapman, honour Percy Dearmer, at S. Mary's Primrose Hill, his church, with @Punkdimmitis.
A friend of Vaughan Williams, he sought to reinvigorate English tradition in the life of the Church against Puritanism and imitation of Rome.
A loveable snob.

@RARoberts1958 Naturally!

[Rev'd Lilly Nelson @Punkdimmitis]

Looking out at my congregation this morning I notice we had 5 of our retired clergymen were wearing beige suit jackets.

I'm presuming there was an email sent out?

[Rev'd Lilly Nelson @Punkdimmitis]

@P_G_Anderson @LiverpoolParish Thanks be to God!

[Rev'd Lilly Nelson @Punkdimmitis]

FINALLY the mirrored chalice I made has caught the light to turn my living room into a disco 🤣

[Rev'd Lilly Nelson @Punkdimmitis]

@P_G_Anderson This is excellent. Teenagers are brilliant

[Rev'd Lilly Nelson @Punkdimmitis]

@RevThomasSander @britishmuseum @prayerbook_soc @loudcymbals @churchofengland @dioceseoflondon Brilliant!

[Rev'd Lilly Nelson @Punkdimmitis]

A new artisan florist has opened in my parish and of course, I popped in to say hello...

[Rev'd Lilly Nelson @Punkdimmitis]

12 Years ago today, confirmed into the church - saying 'yes' to God's call on my life.
Little I know it took a rollercoaster of 10 years for me to be ordained at the very same altar - thanks be to God!

1/2 Sermon for Ascension Day 2026
"after a day reflecting particularly as a female priest, I notice how often women in the Church have spent centuries where the disciples stood: looking upward, waiting, praying for the Spirit to break through structures that said, “not yet.”
