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.
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

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
“The process of spiritual formation in Christlikeness is a process through which all the dimensions of our life are transformed as they increasingly take on the the character of Jesus.” - @DallasAWillard
“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
