@lukeappleton Rainbows are always rings, we just usually only see half of them because the ground gets in the way from our angle of observation.

Jesus Christ lived obscurely most of his life and never travelled far. He was maligned and rejected by many, though he had done no wrong. And yet, billions of people now follow his teaching and find in him the guiding light for their lives. I am one of them. - Queen Elizabeth II

@johnmilbank3 Doesn't this show the problem of a systematic that is not ultimately tethered by exegesis?

The Jesus of the Gospels certainly seems to be neither Pelagian nor a universalist.

The truly orthodox response would seem to be to trust Him here as elsewhere.

Lord, graciously hear us.

Well today on here I have seen global majority bishops described amongst other things as blasphemous, Pharisees, sinning, homophobic, uncaring about poverty or mission (the irony). It's fine to disagree with them but the depth of incomprehension of their position is worrying.

@WalkerMarcus How else are the goldfish going to have a drink?

[VeryBritishProblems @SoVeryBritish]

Current topics of conversation in Britain:

1. How it’s hot
2. How it’s going to be hotter next week

That’s it.

@OurCofELike @Lindsay_the_Rev @revjaneedwards @jpuddlegoose @chalkeblue @suziqvk @suffolkvicar @annemariekramer @jeankerr11 @johnvaughansjt I thought that that was the intent of e.g. @Northern_Bishop when offering a written answer: that it be published and available to all members

@Marc_Lloyd @matthew_w_mason @DuncanHollands @global_anglican @LeeGatiss @ros_clarke Not to be confused with Diocesan Censer

@BrendaW36187388 Yes, it is tricky - I put in a request to speak for my maiden speech in November, but instead of calling me the chair called someone who speaks in almost every debate - not sure how they get that balance right

[Rev Tim Edwards @RevTimEdwards1]

Me giving my maiden speech at General Synod - I am laughing because I had just been introduced as "the man with the generous beard" #Synod #GeneralSynod

[Rev Tim Edwards @RevTimEdwards1]

@ros_clarke @thevicarswife @KateWharton27 To be fair, I ask myself that question most days, not just after synod #wherehavealltheservantsgone

[Rev Tim Edwards @RevTimEdwards1]

@Lindsay_the_Rev It felt appropriate - stepping into the identity the bishop gave me ;-)

[Rev Tim Edwards @RevTimEdwards1]

@maeemouk @synodnews Fully understand - I guess some members felt the amendment spoke for itself (it was very clear!) or that related points had been made previously - it was part of the reason I called for the counted vote on the amended motion, so concerns could at least be logged

The Bible is the only book whose author is always present when one reads it.

@ChelmsRob @synod @synodnews Thank you - keeping us all in order cannot have been an easy task

[Rev Tim Edwards @RevTimEdwards1]

@Canonjjohn @benjamin_john @GenSyn @JustinWelby It was an excellent, powerful speech

@samueljmargrave Now I know what I want for Christmas! ;-)
