Like, I suspect, most people, I’ve got mixed feelings about Synod next week, but I am looking forward to voting the Feast of Christ in Creation into the calendar. I do think it’s a good addition, and it’s also personally v cool to be part of it, adding something this significant doesn’t happen often
