Powerful and prophetic of Matt Lockwood to speak out for residents in his Blackpool parish. Let’s hope it leads to better consultation and change. https://t.co/RiuFhQfAY8

This year is a milestone for the Diocese as we celebrate 100 years of ministry and mission. For one hundred years, our parishes, schools, chaplaincies, and Cathedral have all served in the name of Jesus

Bishop Joe invites everyone to visit their local church this festive season, to hear the story of Jesus’ birth over 2000 years ago, and discover why it still matters.

We had a posada from St Mary’s Church Goosnargh join us at Bishop’s House midday prayers yesterday.

Excellent piece on the Narnia experience at St Bartholomew's, Colne: https://t.co/bIRp2Fgqra

[Madeleine Davies @MadsDavies]

It was more than worth the four-hour drive up to Colne to see the 900-year-old parish church transformed into Narnia. Well done @scaryfastcaz! Around 2000 people have been through the doors.

Watch Jane’s special message to the diocese - our parishes and our church schools - prior to her special service at @bbcathedral on Sunday at 4pm; when she officially becomes Archdeacon.

We would love to see you there!

Today marks exactly one year until the 100th anniversary of our Diocese and @bbcathedral!

But the celebrations start now - with a whole year of events ahead! Keep an eye on the dedicated page on the Diocesan website: https://t.co/7llleGiXQ9

Lancaster Priory needs a new Vicar - an extraordinary ministry at the heart of a vibrant city. https://t.co/4kkuYqAbyu

We will remember them.

Thank you to students of Cuerden Church School.

The Rt Revd Philip North @BpBlackburn has cycled through all 14 deaneries in his diocese in a single day, pausing in each one to preach, pray, or take a school assembly — an 80-mile feat of endurance which he described on Monday as “fabulous fun” 🚲

FINISHED and welcomed with a glass of whisky at Fence St Anne in Pendle.

14 prayers of blessing passed from deanery to deanery, 126km plus a few when lost! Phew!

Penultimate stop at Padiham St Leonard in Burnley deanery, talking about generosity. So so nearly there!
