My reaction when a kid in my chaplaincy workshop had the friendship bracelet he made stolen and broken by school bullies:

This is sadly not shocking but hurtful all the same. Action is long overdue! These delay tactics are a woeful indictment on the ability of the House of Bishops to fulfil its duty. #CofEPeeps

I am very touched to have this happen in the local paper this week. As a priest, one is always passing through. But it has been an immense place to pass through. I will miss this town and the music scene.

Putting final touches to tomorrow's sermon. Reflecting on Isaiah and Blue Monday. Thinking that, no matter how bad things seem, God is with us, and his promises are true. When we pass through the raging waters he will be with us. ##CofEPeeps

Do GB News really not have anything better to do with their time. Such a sad excuse for journalism. I personally love the idea of the Suffragette line.

Now, I don't have children, nor am I the incumbent. However, as a curate in a vacancy, this meme hit harder than ever before 😂 Big love to the vicarage families at this time. #CofEPeeps

The cutting of The Holy Thorn has been going on since the reign of King James I and continues to this day. The Thorn is cut by the eldest children of St John's school. Such a joy to send this little bit of Glastonbury to the King. #CofEPeeps

My hope for a new ABC is be to end the notion that the bishops are ever really 'of one mind'. We know there are disagreements. Model the good disagreement you ask of us. Lose the rather flacid political answers and give us the meat of the debate. #CofEPeeps P.S. +Helen-Ann you rock!

Perhaps instead of the pink candle debate, we should discuss the idea that every priest needs a Barbie pink mini chainsaw. 💗 #CofEPeeps

Advent: what if we make it, not so much about waiting, but more about the practice of imagining differently? Imagine a world soaked with the immanence of becoming. The ridiculousness of a child subverting war. The audacity of a little one, leaping out from the hidden places, with energetic love

I was genuinely impressed with the quality of debate on assisted dying in parliament today. Though the vote did not go the way I would have liked. But what I am happy about is the tone and tenor of house on matters of such importance. Now, we must pray for robust committee scrutiny
