Joy at hearing @BpBurnley will be Bishop of Blackburn. He is way more supportive of women’s ordained ministry and celebrates it more than others who supposedly are in favour & strives for the “highest possible degree of communion”. Biggest problem for @cofelancs is his bad jokes.
@bcahillnicholls Merry Christmas Ben - congratulations on your first midnight! Maybe @ClergySupportUK being such a fabulous supporter of clergy all year round could provide a midnight malt for clergy to join #ClergyMaltClub ??
I was honoured to lead a special #ArmisticeDay2022 service with former soldiers of The Cheshire Regiment on a laughter-filled hike to the highest point in Cheshire. Spoke about Jesus walking up hills with his friends. Then, poignantly, they toasted absent friends. @ChesterDiocese
I was shouting “It’s the Bible” at the radio as the presenter said “Such a political edge, a song written a while ago but seems so relevant still today”
The stand-in presenter of #TheFolkShow@BBCRadio2 has just played Pete Seeger's lovely version of 'Turn, Turn, Turn' - but he was totally unaware that the words are from the Bible (Ecclesiastes Chapter 3) - he clearly thought that Pete Seeger had written them
Did you know that the flat green in #crowngreenbowling isn't flat at all - it has a great big hilly crown in the middle? Had a go at a church outing today - it's much harder and more fun than it looks.
The year is 2045. The first astronauts have landed on Mars. They find a cave with a human skeleton. And 4 words are written on the wall.
What are the four words

A big thank you to all who came to our 367th Festival Service at @StPaulsLondon.
We were honoured to welcome HRH Duchess of Gloucester and uplifted by the choral performances from @LivCathChoir, @Southwarkcathed and @StPaulsChoir choirs, as we gave thanks for all those we serve.
I’m rather excited about being in @StPaulsLondon tomorrow as a Treasurer of @ClergySupportUK for the annual Festival Service. It’s their 367th time, but my first. I re-dyed the black on my clergy shirt so I don’t look too shabby for the occasion. @churchofengland
