Student era 3.0 has begun. My head is spinning with info but I feel so encouraged! Met lots of other post grad students from different disciplines, all doing such interesting research from criminology to business to education and more. I am going to enjoy this!

Should Christians be stockpiling for a national emergency?
With warnings of war, cyberattacks and climate disruption, preparing for disaster no longer seems the preserve of conspiracy theorists. As the UK government urges households to keep a few days' supply...

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.

This is so dangerous. It's absolute BS, we all know people who are ND who are older. Maybe they weren't diagnosed because then they were kids there wasn't the same availability/ understanding.

Several people have sent me this today. A new report into how some Christian organisations are engaging with climate change and ecotheology. Long, but well worth a read. Lots we can learn from/ take on board/ put into practice. pure.manchester.ac.uk/ws/portalfil... #Ecotheology #ClimateChange

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.
