My father, who died last Saturday at the age of 94. A life well-lived and a peaceful passing. I am grateful that he lived by faith, loved much, and has gone to his eternal home. May he rest in peace and rise in glory.

Praying for all those involved with the terrible incident at Bondi Beach. Anti-semitism and hatred has no place in our society and nobody has the right to gun down people like this.

Small joys. The world may be blowing up around us, but this week I have taken my grandson on his first holiday and sat with him on his first trip to a beach. This Mamgu is feeling very grateful.

O no, this auction is nearly at £100, which is great for charity, but really puts the pressure on my left-handed-ass to write it NICELY.

@feministtheology.bsky.social thank you for my goodies! Really looking forward to reading the book. My very dyslexic husband thought the t-shirt said Fantastic Theology Network, which would also be true 🙂

We all know the benefits to pollinators of not mowing in Spring, but the beauty it brings is such a bonus too.

We share our instincts to survive, fit in, and pass on our genes, with other creatures. Difficult ethical questions and powerful emotions centre round instincts. But we prefer to think of ourselves as rational… #kindness #allwelcome #selfcompassion #wellbeing
