We have some vintage chairs available for sale. These chairs were previously used as our main chairs for services and concerts in the cathedral.

Chairs are priced at £20 each. All proceeds from the sale of the chairs will go towards the upkeep of the cathedral.

After searching for a missing key, the current cathedral team decided to call a locksmith to open the cloister which hadn't been opened in 25 years! No hidden treasure was found, but there were many chairs stacked floor to ceiling. The reason for this remains a mystery.

This came up as a Facebook memory today. The time we projected giant angels onto the pillars at Ely (in yr 2000?). Old school tech. Lithographic slides and 35mm projectors.

@ScholarPriest Winchester diocese has “the Registry”, a central clearing house for parishes that need a priest for a service, and for priests (typically PTO) who can offer to cover.

It's a busy time of year, so I've rustled up 'In Dulci Jubilo (when you're always on the go)'.

@charles_forsyth @AlexTaylorNews SNCF issued corporate debt to raise capital to build the french TGVs. Repaid the debt through revenue generation in 13 years. Profit after that.

@charles_forsyth @RichardJMurphy Charles, I notice how you repeatedly qualify “political” problems not solved by EU membership. What about the economic and social benefits of EU membership?

@kkringlebotten @WalkerMarcus @LNJStokes If you choose to attend a totalitarian university which wants to run your life to the extent of dictating all your meals, fine. But the vast majority are not like this.

[Malcolm Wallace @malcolm_wallace]

@WalkerMarcus @LNJStokes There is no imposition here. The vast majority of universities do not force staff or students to use their catering outlets. Everyone is free to eat what they wish, but providers can choose what they are prepared to offer.

A thread for the ultra-wealthy.

If you are wealthy, you may think that if the U.K. switches from an NHS-model to a private model of healthcare it will either a) be better for you, or b) will not affect you.

Here is why you are wrong…

@changingworship Are you living in a barrel now?

@NedLunn @dougchaplin @liambeadle I believe it is just one of those local idiosyncrasies that the CoE is full of. The thinking is that the candidates stand out from the crowd of supporting clergy. Traditionally ordination colours can be either white or red.

@changingworship @thebassplayeruk Incense appears frequently in the scriptures old and new, so I see it as something low-church ought to have embraced wholeheartedly. Bells however, are for wearing, according to exodus. Literally like a cowbell, so you know where the priest is.

Some of my work colleagues may appreciate our shared experience of some of these…

A very interesting reveal of the utterly shocking incompetence of a crypto startup that collapsed recently. These people had zero knowledge of how to run a financial business.

The new team in charge of the FTX bankruptcy have released their first interim report on the failures of control at FTX and related businesses.

It's 43 pages long, let's go through it 🧵

@cmrpemberton @EddieBGreen Lady Raglan has a lot to answer for, in inventing this “pre-Christian” origin idea in 1939, alongside inventing the name “green man”. Foliate faces appear only in church architecture, at least until after her article.
