Non-responsible priest, & follower of Jesus

@charliebelllive As a former dean of a large cathedral, I was glad to hear bad behaviour being called out. Arrogance & poor behaviour by some senior clergy directed against cathedrals which ask them to follow basic directions brings them & the Christian gospel into disrepute. 'Love is patient...'

So sorry to hear of the death of our faithful Honorary Canon Joel Edwards, a wise support and a wonderful leader and role model - his words and his life are an inspiration. May he rest in peace and rise in glory.

Rachel Mann calls out white male fully abled heterosexual privilege in Synod's safeguarding debate. The Church has followed and enjoyed imperial public school English culture instead of challenging it in the name of Jesus Christ. #Synod

St Paul's has received over £2.1m funding from the Government’s #CultureRecoveryFund - a vital lifeline over the next few months, helping us cover essential costs, reach new audiences and stay open to serve the community into 2021. @HistoricEngland #HereForCulture

@WestminsterCath We prayed for our friend Christopher this morning @StPaulsLondon - a lovely gracious priest, in the hands of God's love.

Deeply moving to hear and count the number of those who died as we continue to remember them, and to pray for families and survivors and all who still suffer - including those in tower blocks still clad in inflammable panels. We were joined by about a hundred distanced people...

Remembering the 72 people who lost their lives three years ago #GrenfellTower @StPaulsLondon with @revdison as the bells rang 72 times

Saw this on a church noticeboard while out walking the dog this afternoon. The joys of typos...!

5.30pm, late March, the sun shines through the west window of St Paul's Cathedral and lights up the great brass cross on the High Altar. 'The light shines in the darkness and the darkness will not overcome it...'

By a candle in our chapel:
On this day when the UK leaves the European Union,
we pray for the future of this country;
for our brothers and sisters across Europe;
and for the healing of divisions in our society,
that we may live and work together
for the common good of all.

For further reflection on Peter Ball and Jonathan Fletcher, see https://t.co/1Y4zwW9l09

Heart-rending to see suffering of victims in Peter Ball documentary, and their betrayal by cover-up by the Establishment. And now it's the Evangelical replay with John Smyth and Jonathan Fletcher - different cast but same script...

[Archbishop of Canterbury @ArchbishopSarah]

Absolutely delighted that Rose Hudson-Wilkin will be the new Bishop of Dover. Rose is one of the most influential ministers in the public square – prophetic, pastoral and evangelistic. We pray for God’s blessing on her as she prepares to move.

Bishop off London and Met Commissioner - prayers for London's emergency services in Trafalgar Square #ThyKingdomCome

[David Ison @revdison]

Bombs in churches in Sri Lanka, over a hundred dead. Easter worship stopped at Colombo cathedral because of threats. Christ still suffers - and Christ is risen.

You will rise up and have compassion on Zion....
For your servants hold its stones dear,
and have pity on its dust. Ps 102.13-4
Praying for the servants of Christ at Notre Dame de Paris, in worship at the renewed St Paul's Cathedral this morning: Resurgam! rise again

[David Ison @revdison]

Delighted to announce Dr Paula Gooder will be the next Chancellor of St Paul's....

[David Ison @revdison]

Molly-cat would like to thank @revdison for his excellent blog post, but wishes it were not necessary to keep debating this so that we could return to the core work of worship, ear-scratching, and acts of loving service. #catsofthecofe #piskypuss #dogsofthecofe #allarewelcome

The serious side of humour - how we don't want God to tell us we're ridiculous. https://t.co/wg0W6eJQPQ
