I work for the Church of England as a "National Ecumenical Officer". My job is basically about encouraging partership in mission between Christian Churches. It can be fun!

Good to be in Edinburgh today - meeting CofS and SEC colleagues. We were able to attend a service at the Canongate Kirk for Parliament. The Moderator preached about welcome and service.

Wonderful service for the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity. So great to celebrate our diversity with Pentecostal, Orthodox, Adventist, Baptist, Methodist, Catholic, Anglican, and other friends...

Accidentally went to the book launch for Eight Weeks by Baroness Lola Young. It wasn't the meeting about charities and business that I was expecting... A very powerful discussion about the care system and how it desperately needs to be improved. Sounds like an interesting book.

I've been visiting the Panacea Society Museum in Bedford. Amazing place! They have Joanna Southcott's box - contraining prophecies from 1814. They're still waiting for 24 bishops to come and open it. There are bedrooms for each one. Tempting... #CofE
