@joefattorini @rorysutherland My Folio Society books are the one guilty pleasure my wife allows me.

@rorysutherland Was most infuriating. Send the King back to sort it.

Why do people turn to religion and what can the church offer that they can't get elsewhere?

The Reverend Fergus Butler-Gallie says that churches that simply preach and tell people to be 'nice' sometimes miss the point, and that a church can offer something that is strange, distant and deep.

@Ferndiggity Known it and loved it for many years since learning it at HTB London!

@dandanmusicman @rorysutherland And no arrival lounges at LHR either- they seem to gone the way of all flesh.

@dandanmusicman @rorysutherland I’m fed up of flying from Sydney to Heathrow and arriving at about 5am after a 24-hour-flight, and having to plod around London until 3 at the earliest to check into a hotel. Not such a laugh if you’ve been 36 hours without sleep. Every Sydney flight gets in early morning.

@Protestia and this would be the only one where the Rector, Charlie Skrine, would, instead of preaching in his usual suit and tie, use other methods to reach some not otherwise reached. I sat under Stott’s ministry at ASLP & he would have been thrilled to see its kids’ ministry flourishing

@Protestia Hey, All Souls does more evangelistic Christmas Services during Dec than any other church I know. Nearly all are joyfully conservative in content, with a superbly-crafted evangelistic, often expository, bible talk at the heart. 1000s hear the gospel thru this ministry, cont..

@ick_real ‘Man is destined to die once and, after that, face judgment.’ (Hebrews 9:27)
I loved my dad and miss him every day since he passed in 2011. Very grateful for him.

Yesterday I was listening to music and my son came in and I said “with classical music there’s Bach and then there’s everyone else” He said “that’s so Partridge”. I felt a strange mixture of humiliation and paternal pride, which I don’t think there’s even a German word for.

Gas a granny but protect a porker: what an absolutely morally bankrupt ruling class we have.

They are prohibiting the use of CO2 in the slaughter of pigs, but under the assisted dying bill (which the Government have been covertly pushing), CO2 can still be an acceptable approved substance to kill a human being.

@johnehrett A better Advent hymn is ‘Lo, He comes with clouds descending’. Hark the Herald’ is certainly the theological prince of Christmas carols, but ‘O come all ye faithful’, with its Nicean second verse and invitation to the whole of creation to respond in worship, is no slouch!

@EastEndJoe In that same year in the US, 2018, a minimum of 638,000 babies were legally killed. Were there similar tears from reporters on air?
