I couldn’t do that “all of your windows face south and you see a bear. What colour is the bear?” riddle because I assumed it was talking about a flat like yours.

I don’t have any data on this but I imagine confusing hand sanitiser, cillit bang or drain cleaner with period products would be unfortunate at best… All good points!

After how long will the time between excommunications become smaller than the Planck time and what are the physical implications of such an event?

Maybe the real fool is the archbishops we made along the way…

I don’t really want to trade them. I’m very fond of them.

Can we trade youth clubs? This week I found the group that disappeared creating a Big Art Attack on the toilets’ floor with beads, wool and bananas (mushed).

Sure you may feel like you’re not on top of your life today, but are you “two pairs of shoes” not on top of your life?

“Give the kids a plaster, ask them to write about someone they know who is suffering, and let them stick the plaster somewhere.” That can’t backfire… I think I lost an eyebrow…

It’s closer to 3/4 through than half way through. Just in case that helps. (I imagine it doesn’t)

"we live with the Five Guiding Principles and it works for us" according to the Archbishop of York. Oh really??? I would suggest that the words 'works' and 'us' are both doing some pretty heavy lifting here! For whom does enshrining inequality 'work'?! @watch-notequalyet.bsky.social

In fact, we did a project budget recently and just one million is 7 full years of our absolute dream all bells and whistles project costs. Oh well, back to seeking out grants and donors.

The beginning of Luke 21 comes to mind… I’m used to being in the poor parishes in the poor diocese. Hundreds of millions is just a fairy tale amount to me - how can Jesus’ followers celebrate keeping that to themselves?

I’m glad you enjoyed it! I’ve enjoyed my visits across the states too! Thanks for taking the joke well!

It’s another very British problem to post something on the internet talking about the UK and for Americans to say you’re wrong because America and the UK are different places. (Said for humour - it’s an easy mistake to make @937deanscott.bsky.social)

I don’t understand this but I get the feeling it’s good and I’m missing out. Could you fill me in please?

This blog post has been bubbling up for a while. It tries to do justice to the emotions I sense swirling around me and within me - and to do some theological re-framing along the way... thisestate.blogspot.com/2025/02/burn...

Are you able to share the snippet as a post here or link to it somewhere that isn’t X? I’d be interested to see it but have deleted my account there.

“Oops - I accidentally posted it on substack as well as submitting it to the journal. Butterfingers” (I’m assuming there’s a very good reason this doesn’t happen but I’m entirely ignorant - what would happen?)

We had a friend who was very into all this stuff. For a while we did 1-2-1 Bible studies together. I was not adequately prepared.

For Maths fans, 2025 is a square. 45² = 45 x 45 = 2025 Also, 9² x 5² = 2025 40² + 20² + 5² = 2025 My favourite? 1³+2³+3³+4³+5³+6³+7³+8³+9³ = 2025 #Mathematics #teaching #education

On the one hand, easily done to get the number of Ns and Ks mixed up. On the other hand - easy and important to check one would assume… On the generous third (genuinely ignorant) hand - since it’s a transliterated word is there any chance it’s an unused but somehow valid spelling?

At the Carol service my youngest responded to “he has filled the hungry with good things and sent the rich away empty” with a whispered “yesssssss!” I’d like to apply for this to be added to the official liturgy for the season

I appreciate that It seems like one of my bishops is the only one who doesn’t need reminding at the moment…

Dave Johnson @daveyj90.bsky.social · 16/12/2024

Thanks for this Sam. I feel quite powerless about it all - the most significant thing I can do is strike but the wrong people would be hurt and the right people would ignore it. How can those of us not on synod support those of you who are re all this safeguarding failure?

At least there is a T in argent But surely they should put the argen after the previous square. That feels slightly more sensible.

What is modelsargents meant to be? I’m perilously close to losing all perspective about this and making it my entire personality to be against this kind of shenanigan.

Wait does this actually happen? This feels like a joke because that can’t actually be a thing right?

I wonder what’s scarier - the call saying the Times is coming to talk about your sermon or the one saying The Archdeacon is coming.

Yesterday we took young people from across the groups we run ice skating. I’ve done a fair few ice skating trips over the years and there’s always beautiful moments of young people overcoming their fear of the ice, or more confident ones helping less confident ones. Yesterday was the same - heroes.
