Maundy Thursday. “Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he had come from God and was going to God,got up from the table, took off his outer robe, and tied a towel around himself.Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet.”
People in church vestments standing behind a lectern which is flanked by candles.Three people in robes wash the feet of a woman.A procession of the Blessed Sacrament, led by a man carrying a processional cross and two people with candles, followed by a person with a thurible and a man in a cope carrying a small metal tin wrapped in a golden cloth.The altar of repose. So many candles and a lot of lilies.

Here’s #Synod Mirfield ordinand @kenson.bsky.social presenting his motion to enable the participation of young people (18-25) in Synod, because we need to hear their voices in order to help us serve the church’s mission, to listen to each other, to share their vision & to grow their spiritual gifts.

‘Give me 3 reasons why I shouldn’t ordain you!’ @kenson.bsky.social on one bishop's hopeful expectation for those being confirmed 'Can we think about how no. of confirmations relates to our no. of ordinands – could be a mission opportunity to find ordinands everywhere' #synod #GeneralSynod

Especially thankful for @kenson.bsky.social bringing the motion to allow young adults to participate in Synod. As a CEYC member it was important to me that we felt we had representation and were involved with the wider church.

God I loathe the “AI is here to stay” justification. First of all, many things exist that you needn’t invite into your lives! Poisonous snakes aren’t going anywhere but you aren’t hiring one for the front desk. More to the point in this case, AI is only “here to stay” insofar as you KEEP USING IT

The ‘humanist’ denial of what I would see as an inseparable and innate religious sensibility of the human is a very white western approach indeed. Once again, we are being told what we ‘actually want’, what’s ’good for us’, and not given a chance to be heard.

It was lovely to spend Stir Up Sunday at Little Saint Mary’s, Cambridge, in many ways my spiritual home. Wonderful to see friends and people who have supported me in my vocation journey there, and to share in the parish lunch with them.

We might have mentioned we have beautiful grounds, and they were looking particularly fine in the #snow this morning #snowuk
A big, two wing, two storey Victorian building in the grey light just before dawn. The roof is covered with snow, a number of lights are on inside and the door is open, showing a bright and welcoming interior Trees covered in snow beneath a full moon dimly visible through clouds A large church covered in snow. A path which has been cleared leads to it. Lanterns shed light on the snowy groundA snowy hill, beyond which we can see trees and a big stone building with a square tower.

Oh, and just as a reminder, the committee that will pick the Archbishop’s successor still contains a member who is named in the Makin Report admitting knowing about the abuse decades ago. He has not resigned.

Anyone involved in evaluating contested heritage in our churches should read @mikehigton.bsky.social’s piece in the Ecclesiastical Law Journal on the Rustat Case, particularly the evaluation of heritage institutions’ “objective” submissions and members of the college’s “emotive” ones. Disturbing.
