Enjoying the @DioceseofSheff Development Day today at St Thomas Crookes focussed on ‘Jesus Called his Followers’, started off by @PeteWilcox1564 and keynote @selvaratnam

[Ben Grist @revbengrist]

Getting impatient waiting for a ship to pass in Goole, blocking the route to my next meeting, only to discover its called H S Patience!

Great to hear from Kath & @richjohnson about the vision and future of @NewWineEngland and the decision to move towards ‘festival’ branding for the summer gatherings.
Love being part of this network of local churches changing nations! #NWFest

[Ben Grist @revbengrist]

Thanks to @BishopRuthB for an excellent and powerful week of morning expositions at @NewWineEngland #NWFest

[John Inge @BishopJohnInge]

Neither funny not beautiful but, as you say, unnecessary and highly offensive. The secular elite would not dream of mocking other faiths in this dreadful manner.

[Ben Grist @revbengrist]

As much as I see the intentions behind @elonmusk for this post and his ‘Christian values’, he misses what’s at the very heart of Christianity… when everything else fades away, JESUS CHRIST remains!
And for that reason Christianity will never perish (even if its institutions do)

[Ben Grist @revbengrist]

Great to be having Jon Hancock leading the session on what it means to be a Kingdom Entrepreneur, on a panel with Toby Hughes, Linda Castle, and Kirsty Fuller! @NewWineEngland #NWFest

[Ben Grist @revbengrist]

What a great start we’ve had to New Wine this year with the Team Commissioning last night! Looking forward to a powerful and restorative week ahead 🏕️

“The Gospel for young people needs to respond not to the shame of what they’ve done, but the shame of who they are” - Laura Hancock on how young people can renew the culture of the church #ccx #multiply2024

Powerful messages from Rachel Gardner and Chris Russell about what God is doing in our Young People today. #ccx #multiply2025
