Saying a sad farewell to @LeicTreeofLife It’s been a huge privilege to lead this lovely Community over the last five years, so many precious memories. Now for a new adventure returning to my Cornish homeland and a more contemplative way of ministry.

[Archbishop of Canterbury @ArchbishopSarah]

A wonderful, exciting, beautiful day for the @churchofengland - a diverse, global church brought together in the joy of Jesus Christ.

Welcome Bishops Saju, Lynne and Lusa to your new ministries. We give thanks to God for you and we pray for you.

On Saturday I made my First Vow to the Single Consecrated Life. It was a wonderful service of celebration and the fulfilment of a calling God has long been whispering into my life. Best line of the liturgy, ‘be her glory, her joy and her whole desire.’ #singleconsecratedlife

“Forms and rituals do not produce worship, nor does the disuse of forms and rituals. We can use all the right techniques and methods, we can have the best possible liturgy, but we have not worshiped the Lord until Spirit touches spirit.” - Richard J. Foster #worship

@LeicTreeofLife Nice to see the biscuits in shot...always helps!

[Rachel Bennetts @revrbennetts]

Gave our first two novices a tour of the Community House this morning...it may still be a building site, but it’s got a special charm for us as we look forward to moving in someday soon! @LeicTreeofLife #newmonastic

“A triune God would call us to converse with him . . . because he wants to share the joy he has. Prayer is our way of entering into the happiness of God himself.” Tim Keller

Always glad of a fresh way of describing the Kingdom, I’m liking this one #kingdomofGod #newmonastic

[James Bryan Smith @jamesbryansmith]

The Kingdom of God is not about religious practice or correct doctrine. The Kingdom is found in a heart where God reigns without a rival.
