@Hilda_Erasmuson Thanks, Hilda - you have been such a great support to all of S&NI.

@davewalker Thanks, Dave, for all that you do. A toast from the #ClergyMaltClub - Talisker from me

@suffolkvicar In Rural Hampshire we have Midnight Masses at 8pm and 11pm. It's a tradition...

[Paula Gooder @paulargooder]

I feel seen

[James Pitkin @RevJamesPitkin]

@pmounstephen It was wonderful- thank you. Hope that the Bishop of Winchester doesn't leave it another 120 years before the next visit!

[Philip Mounstephen @pmounstephen]

To St Leonard’s Sherfield English to mark 120 years since this remarkable church was built and the first visit by a Bishop of Winchester since then! My predecessor’s message included warnings against lust. I took a less bracing line. It was a wonderful time.

[James Pitkin @RevJamesPitkin]

@carolinenokes Thanks for coming - a great celebration!

[James Pitkin @RevJamesPitkin]

@chaplain_Sue @CommonsSpeaker @carolinenokes @Nus_Ghani @JudithCummins @carolinenokes commended in prayer in her home parish last weekend.

Privilege of opening the Lockerley School Spirituality Garden today

Why oh why didn’t he wear a cagoule? I can’t believe it! I’ve got an old one that’s a bit tight on me he could have borrowed. (Cos he’s quite a slim build isn’t he?) But I don’t have a contact address. Oh yes I do.. it’s number 10 whatsit, isn’t it?

[James Pitkin @RevJamesPitkin]

@carolinenokes Great to have you there taking part in the Service #wellowchurch #tandbbenefice

[James Pitkin @RevJamesPitkin]

@gwillybobs @SW_Help Our guard did the same on the 1335 from Waterloo

[James Pitkin @RevJamesPitkin]

@davewalker @2D0XPS I am Vicar to six rural churches and we have different answers to the question! Some are open 24/7, some have time locks, one is locked and unlocked by volunteers, and one is locked all the time but open for services. Google open hours reflect the reality!

@Rgt71Robert @Kathryn11Baird @RicoTice @churchofengland @dioceseoflondon @bishopSarahM In Winchester Diocese we have clergy and laity with permission to preach. It is a more limited authorisation than PTO (which covers both officiating and preaching). And Incumbents can invite anyone to preach up to four times a year.

[James Pitkin @RevJamesPitkin]

@Rgt71Robert @churchofengland Yes!

Good #synod fringe with @childrensociety on free training and #LookCloser at child exploitation.
Ideal for churches with food & baby banks and those involved with YP groups @RevJamesPitkin & @BusolaSodeinde perhaps something to pass on to @scouts @aircadets & @SeaCadetsUK staff
