Here with their @BuffaloBicycles are some of the extraordinary Chilala healthcare team, who we were privileged to accompany to a clinic. Coming back I left after the group and Mercy caught me up to cycle back to Chilala together, just us two @powerofbicycles #BikeZambia

…and this one, built in the heart of Jesmond, described as more like a cathedral than a parish church with amazing artistic interiors https://t.co/XBLRG8oQYC

What an incredible year of celebration as @HeritageFundUK marked 30 years of the #NationalLottery.

Since 1994, we have invested £1bn into places of worship. I am delighted to end 2024 with an announcement of £1.25m for these historic buildings and communities that care for them.

Gorgeous to hear the choristers of @NewCollegeChoir sing Benjamin Britten’s Ceremony of Carols in the cosy pews of St Nicholas Church, Islip. Mulled cider at the interval, too.

Spectacular work done by the wind making a sculpture on a fence with hay.

December 7th is the feast day of St. Ambrose, patron saint of Beekeeping an candle makers. The Latin phrase for “honey” is “Ambrosia” or the food of the gods, thus the origin of St. Ambrose’s name.

Today's the feast of St Ambrose, 4th Century Bishop of Milan and one of the Four Latin Doctors. Very popular in medieval Norfolk, his figure survives on no fewer than sixteen screens or pulpits, including here at East Ruston, a @TheCCT church: https://t.co/JrsLHif4rg 1/3

This handsome Grade II listed Methodist Church opened in 1904 on the Cowley Road. Today amongst other things it holds Oxford’s Baby Bank, providing crucial supplies to families. One of countless special roles that places of worship play at the heart of communities @MethodistGB

[Emily Gee @ejngee]

Another brilliant example of @HeritageFundUK investment in historic places of worship for communities and people

Had a fabulous Revelation reading for Thanksgiving Day Vespers - clouds, angels, rainbows, pillars of fire, roaring lions, scrolls and honey. In honour of the latter here is @NewCollegeOx St Ambrose with his beehive. Thankful and grateful 🌈 🍯

Magical frosty, misty train journey for Thanksgiving Day

[Emily Gee @ejngee]

Really special to catch the choral evensong for Thanksgiving Eve at NYC’s St Thomas’ Church on @BBCRadio3 Some amazing music and readings. Conscious that family and friends in US are winding down at this point, sending love 🍁 🌽 ⛪️

Train palavers there and back but lovely to make it to Leicester

[The Church of England @churchofengland]

A rural church in a village with no post office or shop has been able to offer part of its building as a community centre.

@w9maidavale I revised the listing for this building in 2012 (the site visit, booked months before, coincided with the Athletes’ Parade, which was a treat to view from up there!) Excellent building and a listing intended to celebrate the special and help to manage change
