Great to be part of this community and have the cathedral available to everyone https://t.co/15XEbsWfcl @LeicsCathedral @engcathedrals @leicestercofe

@nclfuzzy @WalkerMarcus No and No. I’m much less interested in ideology than you seem to be. Life is mostly more interesting than tropes.

A statement following further bombing of the Anglican-run Al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza today.

@talkChristianly I’ve gleaned from pastoral ministry, plenty marriages are non-sexual wrt intercourse whilst sexually active wrt tenderness and physical closeness. Many CPs already look like these and marriage is the Christian shape surely for such profound faithfulness even before we discuss sex

@Guli_FD Remembered regularly in Canterbury too

[Guli Francis-Dehqani @Guli_FD]

Deeply saddened by news of the bombing of the Al Ahli Christian hospital in Gaza this morning on Palm Sunday and the start of Holy Week. Devastation upon devastation. Prayers for Diocese of Jerusalem and all concerned

This is an important thread. Please read!

I agree entirely with Bishop James

Letter to The Times from former Bishop of Liverpool who chaired the Hillsborough Independent Panel & Gosport Independent Panel, on assisted dying & the State

[Canterbury Cathedral @CburyCathedral]

The Cathedral Community is deeply concerned and saddened by news of a fatal stabbing in our town last night.

Our prayers are with the victim, their family and friends and all the emergency services involved.

Knife crime affects us all. It will take all of us to address it.

@AlastairBruce_ @edinburghcastle @UniofOxford Many congratulations

[David Monteith @davidrmmonteith]

@JayHulmePoet Entirely predictable

[David Monteith @davidrmmonteith]

The boat accident in Sicily is totally tragic for all involved but compare the coverage of this to that of the many boats sinking regularly in the channel. Objective journalism?

[David Monteith @davidrmmonteith]

@JayHulmePoet Big hair!

@TheJupitersays @bbcathedral @churchofengland @RevSimonR @DeanSouthwark @BpJanMc @simonsarmiento @deanroggovender @tremlett_andrew @DeanOfYork @andrew_zihni @SewellMartin @RiponDean Like Peter HJ, I’m not aware of any Dean who isn’t completely committed to getting safeguarding right now whilst in some instances inheriting far less than any of us might wish for with unraveling that seems at times uber and stupidly convoluted.

[David Monteith @davidrmmonteith]

@AlastairBruce_ @EdinburghTattoo @edinburghcastle Love the pipes

[David Monteith @davidrmmonteith]

@bmay Completely shocking and unacceptable at every level

[David Monteith @davidrmmonteith]

Here @CburyCathedral our sincere prayers for peace, law and order to be restored in our land. We are siblings one with another. We can and will demonstrate a better way.

[David Monteith @davidrmmonteith]

Now we need to get everyone together to find sane and humane ways forward. It will not be easy but we mustn’t loose our souls just because it is difficult. @CburyCathedral

[David Monteith @davidrmmonteith]

@carolynjs67 @TheVicarageCat @s_j_march Much love. We the church are very inconsistent especially when it comes to pastoral care. I’m as guilty as the next but not lacking in good intention either. So sorry it is so hard. Dx
