Happy Christmas from Gloucester one and all! #clergymaltclub

Sarah Brush @docbrush.bsky.social · 11/12/2025

Yesterday I was honoured to be made an honorary canon of Gloucester Cathedral. The bishop described the role as an ambassador between the diocese & the cathedral. I was touched that both former & current students came to support me along with my CGH team Alison & Nigel, Bp Humphrey & good friends.

Thank you to everyone who has bought my new book and for the kind comments about it. If anyone has bought it and is willing to put a review on Amazon, I’d really appreciate it as it helps with the algorithm. @scmpress.bsky.social scmpress.hymnsam.co.uk/books/978033...

À real joy to see faces old and new at my book signing today. Thank you all for coming! We planted a tree then had cake and hot drinks by the fire in the Common Room. @scmpress.bsky.social

Heading home with a soundtrack for the journey from the Playlisting workshop. BIAPT2025 you’ve been fab.

A stellar keynote panel from Dotha Blackwood, Nicola Slee and @woodwardjames.bsky.social chaired by the excellent Anna Creedon. We learned about faith and ageing and how to honour those born earlier. @biaptheology.bsky.social

It has been such a joy to have @jayhulmepoet.bsky.social as our conference poet at @biaptheology.bsky.social this week bringing beautiful poetry about liminality, change, death and obscure saints.

Last night we reinstated a @biaptheology.bsky.social tradition - the conference photo. We didn’t quite have everyone. This has been a great week and a wonderful way to bow out as Chair. Thank you all for your contributions.

Sarah Brush @docbrush.bsky.social · 09/07/2025

A joyful workshop at BIAPT sharing my Faith Development model. It saddens me that so many people have had the words “You can’t…” spoken over them by art teachers (or music teachers). I believe in a Creator God who created creatures for co-creation. “You can be creative.”

@biaptheology.bsky.social Conference day two kicks off for me with a fab workshop on Playlisting the Life Cycle with Hannah Buckley and Stephen Roberts based on autoethnographic work on sharing playlists they each created for a long road trip.

Sarah Brush @docbrush.bsky.social · 08/07/2025

And we’re started with @biaptheology.bsky.social Just done my chair’s welcome and now Jay Hulme our conference poet is sharing some wonderful wisdom on obscure saints and death as part life.

Sarah Brush @docbrush.bsky.social · 08/07/2025

Joining the ProfDoc students conference for their keynote from the epic Nicola Slee and already feeling really buoyed up by the BIAPT community and all these wonderful people talking about the research drawn from and inspiring their ministerial practice.

Really beautiful worship this evening at @riponcuddesdon.bsky.social as people were invited to reflect on brokenness through shards of pottery then offer that to God by gluing the pottery shards to the cross.

Sarah Brush @docbrush.bsky.social · 25/04/2025

Great to work with some prospective @riponcuddesdon.bsky.social students this evening

Today I managed some printing. I normal stand to print but managed this while sitting.

Book draft into the recycling bin as the electronic text is now with the publisher. Whoop whoop!

Mind blown by the gorgeousness of our programme for 5th April concert in Cirencester. Plus some Ola Gjelio! And then we get to sing a load of Howells on 7th June too! 💗

I have a sketch of a ginkgo leaf from my pre ordination retreat (and the pressed leaf) in my retreat journal. A very precious symbol for me hence this

Online teaching on a Saturday in January? The only possible breakfast is scrambled eggs with smoked salmon!

Sarah Brush @docbrush.bsky.social · 03/01/2025

Current and former students may smile wryly to see one of the ways I am cutting some of the 20k words I need to trim from my book. Yes, I hear you… teacher mark thy self 😂

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas here!

Went to the hairdresser and boom I’m out of #Whamageddon on day three! Gutted!! Good cut though!

Lovely to have The Moog home after a raisin-related stay at the vets #dogsofbluesky

Snowy drive home from Devon, then wading through emails. This evening self-care looks like homemade fish pie with sweet potato and potato mash.

The skies of blue definitely seem to be expanding so hello to my new followers. A little about me: I’m currently trying to finish up a book on Faith Development; I comment occasionally on the CofE, formation, music, films and art; more often I share my delight in trees, dogs, skies and seas.

The Moog see to come with me to choral evensong until the cathedral canine welcome was restricted to outside of worship.

Breakfast with a friend of 16 years then down to Devon to see friends with an afternoon of axe-throwing and an evening at RHS Rosemoor Glow

Sarah Brush @docbrush.bsky.social · 02/11/2024

A morning at a craft fair with a lovely friend and then an impulsive trip to Nature in Art as The Moog was happily in doggy daycare for a few more hours.

Sarah Brush @docbrush.bsky.social · 08/09/2024

From yesterday afternoon in Bourton on the Water. Both vegan! Any guesses for the non-chocolate flavour? It’s a seasonal one.

A selection of some recent linocuts I’ve done to see if it finds me any other enthusiasts

Sarah Brush @docbrush.bsky.social · 13/08/2024

Ending the day with a bit of evening gardening. Only the keen-eyed will spot the herbs that have been added to the borders. The Moog opted not to have a little dance in the short rain shower that followed and waited in the doorway instead.

Seen in a vestry early December … another three needed for the Advent Wreath methinks

Working all weekend so having today off and started it with Morning Prayer in the cathedral then a Lino CutPrinting workshop. #selfcare

If you’ve not been to see Light Eternal by LuxMuralis at Gloucester Cathedral yet, you have a few more days. It’s a stunner!

Sarah Brush @docbrush.bsky.social · 05/10/2023

Lovely to be licensed in the Diocese of Gloucester today by Bishop Rachel for my role as Director of Cuddesdon Gloucester & Hereford and our Principal Humphrey Southern came to support me too. A former student who’s in ministry very nearby dropped off a thoughtful gift I could share in class!

Sarah Brush @docbrush.bsky.social · 04/10/2023

Oooh 100 followers today. This place begins to feel like home. In other news we had a visitor from Tanzania at our Cuddesdon Gloucester & Hereford session in Ludlow this evening. Welcome Pastor Passis Simon Systematic Theology Lecturer from Morogoro Bible College

Awww lots of lovely people appearing here in the last few days. I spent the early evening brushing up a session on Miss Marple (to step in for a colleague last minute). How’s your Friday?
