This might be particularly good for anyone looking to keep up the Christian celebration of Christmas beyond December, or for clergy hoping for some personal retreat time after the rush of Christmas services!

It feels a little too soon to mention the C Word (Christmas, if anyone’s in doubt!) but I’m leading a Quiet Day at Pleshey Retreat House in January 2027 all about Joseph. If you’d like time in the quiet countryside and some talks by me, then book here: www.retreathousepleshey.com/events/the-q...

As ever, Rowan Williams speaks perceptive clarity into what has happened, especially the intensified pressures of success, shame, and failure put on those with a 'non-standard' story: magazine.newstatesman.com/2026/08/19/t...

Rev’d Dr Will Rose-Moore @revdwillrm.bsky.social · 20/08/2026
I was away whilst the news of Jason Arday's tragic death broke, but is too important to stay silent on. This is simply heartbreaking. But the events that occured were not accidental; they were a manipulation of political and media power against a scapegoated individual, unceasing until his death.

It is great to receive a hard copy of this new book about bisexual Christians in Europe, which I wrote a chapter for! My contribution explores life as a bisexual/queer man, being a priest in the Church of England, married to a (wonderful!) woman, and finding God in all the grey areas and mess!

Have you checked out For Nothing is Hidden yet? Read the introduction here on our blog: scmpress.hymnsam.co.uk/blog/conside... 20% off all orders this month - don't miss out!
An endorsement quote from Shelly Rambo, Professor of Theology, Boston University School of Theology. It reads: For Nothing is Hidden is a compelling and impressively cohesive volume examining the intersection of masculinities, trauma, and Christianity. Seeking to build on trauma theology, it exposes the infrastructure of patriarchal masculinity at the root of much religious harm. This volume will have wide appeal behind its focus on trauma and will be a welcome addition to courses focused on gender, violence, and Christian traditions.

These last twenty-four hours have been powerful; my first of these Holy Week services as a priest. I have stood where Jesus did. I shared a meal with friends as Jesus did. I washed feet as Jesus did. I watched and waited as Jesus did, as others left one by one. I carried the cross as Jesus did.
