@GlosDioc @BishGloucester This resonated with me too... Her words echoed my own experience of church and the journey to faith in my late teens.

"... one of the candidates shared her testimony of finding ‘home’ in her local church at a time when she felt lost and broken, and she spoke of how she had found community which for her is about connection"

@BishGloucester @GlosDioc @churchofengland It was good to welcome you to Stroud ... A wonderful evening of worship, testimony and celebration..thank you 🙏

[Rev James Turk @revjamesturk]

@Annikinzzz Agreed, it is slow... But it has a certain 'tension' that I like. I'm only on episode 2 myself...I think it's worth carrying on. 👍

[Rev James Turk @revjamesturk]

Just catching up with the new BBC series 'Marriage' .. really good. But the theme tune is absolutely awful!

@Josimmo11790259 Soon Jo....very soon ❤️

One thing that's always puzzled me...Why do washing machine and dishwasher 'Eco' programs take twice as long as the normal programs? Surely that uses more power? 🤔

First wedding in our glorious #estateschurch tomorrow. Bride grew up on estate, walking from mum’s to wedding. Desperate to marry in church ‘because it’s bigger than us.’
Earlier in the day police drop in for coffee and briefing.

Just back from 2 weeks in Dartmouth... A mighty fine place to relax with family ! #Dartmouth ❤️

[Rev James Turk @revjamesturk]

Borrowed from elsewhere ..but I feel this was one heck of a party!!

[Rev James Turk @revjamesturk]

Just finished 'Tatoos on the Heart' by Gregory Boyle... an equally heart breaking and heart warming read.

[Rev James Turk @revjamesturk]

Oh come on..it is quite funny! 😁

[Gloucester Cathedral @GlosCathedral]

The first of our summer holiday family activity sessions is taking place between 12.30pm-3.30pm tomorrow! These sessions are free to take part, but donations to the Cathedral are gratefully received. All are welcome 🥳

[Rev James Turk @revjamesturk]

Half way through our holiday in Dartmouth.... we all agree that It will be hard to leave.

[Rev James Turk @revjamesturk]

Everyone seems to be a little happier today with a spring in the step... Did something happen yesterday? 😉 #Lionesses
