Currently reading in prep for a review. Love that @revjodystowell.bsky.social tells us from the outset that ministry life is not all rainbows and kittens... 😆🐱. Churches need more kittens...

OK the glass is empty and my brain is switching off. So to bed. Thank you fellow #ClergyMaltClub gang, this half hour before bed on Xmas Eve is always heartwarming (& not just from the drink!). For those of us with services still to go, we got this! Happy Christmas all.

Tht best day in London with a bunch of Christian women I've never met before encouraging each other and lifting each other up. Massive love to Lauren Windle for organising... live when women are each other's cheer leaders!

Absolutely delighted to hear +Sarah Mullally is to be the new Archbishop of Canterbury. She brings much wisdom & experience to the role. For those of us who are ordained women in the CofE this is such an encouragement, and I don't mind sharing that I shed a tear on hearing the news.

Look at this beauty as seen @cburycathedral.bsky.social A Baobab Plane tree, 200+ years old. Featured as part of the late Queen's platinum jubilee green canopy. I declined to hug it as was accompanied by 200+ other clergy at the time 🤣🌳🥰

Watching the swallows drink on the wing from this south downs dew pond early morning on this summer solstice, perfect start to the day.

you do not have to be Christian to go sit in an old ass church today. you do not need an explanation beyond ‘it’s hot, here I am’. I promise you it will not be weird

There's no wrong weather only wrong clothing 😄 Making the most of my time in Chester, popped over the border to Wales to head up a proper hill & bag a trig! #Hiking #SoloHiking #TrigBagging

When people cite 'Christian values' you can be 100% sure they: A) are not a Christian B) have no idea what Jesus was actually all about C) have an agenda #JustSaying

Can't believe I've never read this before. Fascinating,challenging & helpful guide to our carbon footprint in lots of things we use/ consume daily. Pretty smug about the food, and I'm pretty well versed in this stuff, but still plenty to improve...

Text from book showing a vegan diet as lowest in terms of carbon use. 17kg if no airfreight or waste, 36kg average vegan diet. Average diet with meat 88kg!

Lovely visit to Winchester cathedral on route to Bath. So wanted to see the amazing whale sculptures!

Sculptures of 2 small whales hanging from the ceiling of the cathedral. Blue lights also highlight the walls.

'sound 3' sculpture by Anthony Gormley in the cathedral crypt, which is flooded. The sculpture looks like a human standing, head slightly bowed, hands held in front. The figure and vaulted roof of the crypt are reflected in the water below.

Trump just said the US will take over Gaza and “level” it. He said the US will “own” it. And forcibly remove the 1.8 million Palestinians who live there. And it will become the “Riviera of the Middle East.” It is not just illegal. It is immoral. And dangerous. And evil.

In an exec order Trump has directed the Defense Dept to make it far harder for any trans person to serve in the military: “A man’s assertion that he is a woman, and his requirement that others honor this falsehood, is not consistent with the humility and selflessness required of a service member.”

Of course, I am troubled by Trump, but I am even more troubled by the Christians who defend him.
