We're excited to announce details of our 2023 conference, at the Royal Foundation of St. Katharine on the 9th November, with Emmie Bidston, author of Leader: Know, love and inspire your people.
I asked an AI bot for ways to grow our church. This is its worst idea: manufacture a community-wide eating disorder and then to use the proceeds from all the resulting zillion-dollar diet books to fund a new cathedral, consecrated by the Archbishop of Canterbury.
Friday is going to be fun. The bishops are, apparently, going to apologise for excluding gay people from the CofE whilst at the same time announcing that they're going to recommend excluding gay people from the CofE.
@JustinWelby My views consolidated when I thought about how it would feel celebrating the weddings of some of my kids but not all on the basis of their loved one's gender. They would feel tolerated not loved and not good enough, which is, I imagine, how you have made so many feel, again

A qulck reminder of what the benefit cap is. It's the government saying "we've worked out what the mimimum you need to live on is, and we're going to give you less".
We don't talk enough about Local Housing Allowance (LHA). While other benefits are to go up with inflation, it will remain frozen for the third year running.🧵
@pocketcasts Got this and then the app randomly unarchived loads of unplayed but archived episodes, so my filter went from ~280 new episodes up to ~800. Really not good! Now have to manually archive 500 podcasts.
I asked the doctors: “Do you have any treatments?”
They replied: “There’s no proof that any of them work”
Which brings me the second thing that could be done here and now: rapid, large-scale research
