Retiring! Enjoying music, social justice, working with people of different faiths (& none), whales

Looking forward to the talk this evening (Thurs) on Worcester Jews - a sadly neglected aspect of local history. All welcome - The Undercroft, Worcester cathedral

Just been driving wheelchair bus taking a few people shopping - brilliant fun!

Just been watching "Mission: Joy - with Archbishop Desmond Tutu and the Dalai Lama". Amazing! Inspiring! Uplifting! On iPlayer

It's okay if...

💚 You're not feeling productive
💚 You need a rest
💚 You don't get everything ticked off of your list

There's a spider's web on my alcohol cupboard. Does this say more about a) my lenten discipline, or b) my lack of cleaning?

The cut in the aid budget - made worse by no set date for restoration - is shameful and wrong. It’s contrary to numerous Government promises and its manifesto.

I join others in urging MPs to reject it for the good of the poorest, and the UK’s own reputation and interest.

I don't know Bob Smietana, but isn't this brilliant?

Spent some time last week talking with @EbooPatel about how what he calls "Interfaith America" is a reality on the ground. Kamala Harris - who was raised Baptist, has a Hindu mom and a Jewish husband, brings that home

I should have explained: the battery has (nearly) expired on my smoke alarm. Manual says "Dispose of it". "You can't put it in household rubbish, you must take it to local council dump". During lockdown??? In 6 months time? After we've all gone mad!!!

[Catherine Lack @MsSmileyVicar]

Just taken a hammer to my smoke alarm... The only way to stop it going off. Never ever ever buy one with an unreplaceable battery! (The hammer worked - Neighbours, there will now be peace!)

Mowed my new lawn for the first time - it felt like a bit of normality, whatever that is...

[Catherine Lack @MsSmileyVicar]

A bit late in the day: Advice please on wearing a mask and spectacles without fogging up. Best advice so far: Bring upper teeth forward over bottom lip. It does work, but...

[Eboo Patel @EbooPatel]

So powerful. @raushenbush highlights how John Lewis was an Interfaith Leader. His Christian faith gave him roots, his study of other traditions gave him wings. https://t.co/es63gQZCWD #RIPJohnLewis

Profound thought for the day: Longer hair = busier shower = more cleaning... End of profound Thought (I must remember to clean it more often)

[Catherine Lack @MsSmileyVicar]

Played the organ, an organ that Handel just might have played (but probably didn't!) for a full church. Brilliant! And a very different Christmas. (Great Witley in case you're wondering - Britain's finest baroque church... )

25 years ago today I was ordained priest... Quite a lot's happened since! And, of the other 23 or so in Bury St Edmunds that day, some have died, some have retired, some very much active still. I shall celebrate by going to Communion AND having a walk by the sea

[Catherine Lack @MsSmileyVicar]

Haven't tweeted for a while... Moving house is interesting. 4 days of utter bliss: no landline, no mobile, no internet. But glad to be back in touch with the world after all. It used to be like this every time we went out...

[Catherine Lack @MsSmileyVicar]

If it's as good as previous books this will be very worth it. I find them inspirational

[Eboo Patel @EbooPatel]
