Whatever you think the church's position on same-sex relationships should be, the decision-making of the House of Bishops shouldn't be informed by advice which tries to claim a consensus which doesn't exist, even among the theologians quoted supposedly in support of it.

Here's lovely thing for a Wednesday morning. Fr Simon Cuff's beautiful reflections on priesthood is in. Perfect whether you have been a priest for years and need to remind yourself why, or you're only just feeling the nudge @frsimoncuff.bsky.social canterburypress.hymnsam.co.uk/books/978178...
A copy of Waiting on the Lord: Reflections for a Priestly Life, by Simon Cuff. On the cover, against a plain background is an image of large, slightly tarnished chalice, which looks like it has seen lots of life.  The book is on a windowsill and some high rise flats are just visible through the window.

Really please to have a chapter in this book. In it I develop the starting points of an ecclesiology of pioneer/fresh expressions starting from the spirituality of a number of missional communities. I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the book too, which includes chapters from CMS colleagues.
