@Rgt71Robert @kimleadbeater @churchofengland As a fellow priest @churchofengland I share your lament Robert and as a citizen of the UK share your frustration at the behaviour of a very small number of unelected peers.

Update on fallen tree at the Parish Church. We’re working with specialists to resolve this asap. The Council are aware. Obvs a problem of this scale and in this location will not be remedied overnight. Thanks all for your concern & patience. Canon J @SpondonOnline

@Rgt71Robert The actions of the Lords Spiritual here will I think hasten their eviction. I’m surprised they survived the most recent reforms - perhaps because they’re more likely to vote with the present government.

[Canon Julian Hollywell @RevJFH]

@Rgt71Robert The unreasonable constraints of clericalism are not restricted to Rome. Some of the coments here are simply in-humane. The points @Rgt71Robert makes here are valid …the hypocrisy of the way the church views sexuality and identity of those called to priesthood is abhorrent.

@Rgt71Robert @FrPeterAnthony @ASMSLondon “Zarathustra, however, beheld the people and was amazed. Then he spoke thus:

"Man is a rope, tied between beast and overman - a rope over an abyss….”

@WalkerMarcus Years ago I was an advisor for C 4 films, a shoot included a weekday mass in a Church: the priest wore a silver chasuble (wtf?) with stole outside, consecrating enough wine for a papal mass 🤦where to begin? They had no idea & they didn’t care.

@mancmapper Just sending our love. X

This is the second time I’ve seen Emily Thornberry get angry at Israel.

Both times were over Israel’s treatment of British Parliamentarians.

She’s never shown this anger about Israel slaughtering Palestinians and committing every war crime under the sun.

[Canon Julian Hollywell @RevJFH]

@revdmesmith Yep. It why we no longer go. It is a cause of deep pain. It is England’s Nazareth…. the purity code is disgusting and it’s disgusting the wider Church colludes with it.

As ever wise commentary from RS

[Rory Stewart @RoryStewartUK]

“What is built on the basis of force, and not on the truth about the equal dignity of every human being, begins badly and will end badly. Christians know very well that it is only by affirming the infinite dignity of all that our own identity as persons and as communities reaches its maturity.“ (The Pope - he continues: Christian love is not a concentric expansion of interests that little by little extend to other persons and groups.

[Canon Julian Hollywell @RevJFH]

@BishopJohnInge I think the piece is naive. As a member of Gen Syn I’d suggest investigative journalism is essential in our current culture. And given recent experience, I’m more worried about the CEEC controlling who the next archbishop will be rather than Channel 4.

Winter in the Pennines. The day's tones as still as the sky; snowlight like stretched silver. Neighbours out on the road delighting in the stillness this morning. Horses the colour of gingerbread on white fields. And for a few powercut hours, no news, no screens, no world but now
