Blimey, I was just interviewed alongside @rcquaker.bsky.social by @williamcrawley.bsky.social on BBC Radio 4's "Sunday" about the proposed 3rd option in #Quaker wedding vows to help #nontheist couples. I enjoyed the interview, 🤞 it comes across OK. We start at 26:02 www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Yesterday I got to the @southbankcentre.bsky.social ridiculously early (as is my want) for the Chris Thile concert with my brother and I stumbled upon the amazing National Poetry Library. Three collections on their New Works shelf captivated me, all now ordered: …

If you get the chance to go to the #GunpowderPlot reenactment @harvingtonhall.bsky.social take it: such an incredible evening. I learnt loads, in such a memorable way.

Is there an equivalent of @bandcamp.com but for classical music, one with good coverage of the important labels?

I've a plan hatching: win the 2026 Great Bardfield horticultural soc' show 'domestic' cup. The cup's not just baking, but there are fewer categories (e.g. no Victoria sponge!) than the Hardwick baking cup I won. I probs need entries in each category, hence this crabapple jelly — forward planning

@woodbrooke.bsky.social organised #GeorgeFox400 discussions — David Boulton & I gave the nontheist view of Fox. I'm looking forward to hearing Stuart give the 2026 #SwarthmoreLecture on "the diverse mix of characteristics visible in the early #Quaker movement that produced several creative tensions"

@lamornaash.bsky.social Rereading Don't Forget We're Here Forever and noticed that the footnotes are all wonky in Chapter 8 (I didn't check earlier chapters). E.g. the sentence footmarked 1 clearly refers to footmark 3, 7 should be 4, etc. Not a biggie, but may be worth fixing in the next edition

In a Christian book I read recently (or podcast I listened to) I came across the story of Field Mashal Mongomery's painful regret in later life at the lives he'd spent in WWII. But I cannot find the reference. Has anyone else come across a recent chapter/episode recounting this moral vignette?

Though I'm on a different side of many a debate, or perhaps because I am, I am loving @lamornaash.bsky.social's new book about Millennials (i.e. folk in their 20s and 30s now) finding Christian faith. www.bloomsbury.com/uk/dont-forg... 1/4

Can any of my #BridgeToTheStars @PhilipPullman fan friends help? Why the hour+ difference in length of these two readings? I need to replace the old CDs I had, we lost them in the downsizing move to Essex.

Such an important opener for Season 2. My own unsettling rebirth of interest in Christianity came on the heals of an even more unsettling collapse of my political identity (I just could not vote at our last election and spoilt my ballot — sorry Mum & Dad). Thank you Justin Brierley t.co/dBnBC7j4k4

Great footnote from Katherine Rundell. Mine's "epistemological", happy to write it but I'll avoid saying it.
