"One difficulty that faces ordinands as they leave the formation of their training institutions, is teaching prayer to an unchurched generation." Loved this piece.

Was asked by Sunday Times to speak to some people who have become Christians recently. Loved writing this one for Easter https://t.co/hFtzVhdN6b

@johnmilbank3 “Parish life is rarely kind enough to conform to anybody’s preferred storyline. The truth on the ground is usually slower and stranger than that.”

Yes.

Thank you for sharing. In case this is helpfully adjacent, I wrote on a similar theme:

@OSacrumCorIesu This looks fab!

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Today, we have become experts in the smallest details of reality, yet we have lost the capability of an overarching vision that integrates things through a deeper and greater meaning. The Christian experience, however, wishes to teach us to look at life and reality with a unified gaze, capable of embracing everything while rejecting merely partial ways of thinking.

'There is an assumption that those who have been most unequal in life will suddenly be rendered equal in death.' - @ChiOnwurah on how the AD bill risks entrenching inequalities in our care system.
