The coronation and entombment of St Edmund BL Harley 2278; John Lydgate, Metrical lives of Saints Edmund & Fremund; between 1434 CE & 1439 CE; England S. (probably Bury St Edmunds); ff.31r, 117r

How can you tell one of the sacristans loves St Edmund?

Prayer service for #TransgenderDayOfRemembrance. Remembering the dead, and praying for a world where all can flourish.

Happy St Edmund’s Day, and a shout out to our current and former students from the diocese of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich, though sadly Eds and Ips don’t seem to be on here. ✝️⚓️

We’ve already had quite a bit of interest in our next Open Day, coming up on Sunday December 7th, but there is still space! Do come and see us if you’re in the discernment process and wondering about next steps. #CofE #anglican ✝️⚓️ college.mirfield.org.uk/open-day-reg...

Prayers in the weekly tutor group meetings are an opportunity for students to share ways they pray. Here an ordinand teaches the Lord’s Prayer in Signalong, a language she learned while volunteering with L’Arche.

We’re counting down to our next open day on Sunday December 7th! If you’re at any stage in the discernment process, we’d love to welcome you and help you get to know what formation at the College of the Resurrection is all about! college.mirfield.org.uk/open-day-reg...

Some very interesting and inspiring reflections on the cinema from Pope Leo.

I was at Manchester Cathedral today for a round table discussion on poverty - part of this year’s events marking 40 years since the Church’s landmark Faith in the City report. Its call to action remains as urgent as ever — to build a bold vision and a clear plan to end poverty.

We’re very much looking forward to having them join us on site.

Homemade doughnuts! #CakeWatch

Do you have plans for Holy Week? Would you like to have plans for Holy Week? Come and join us! Grants available for ordinands, students, and those in need.

Earlier today staff and students marked Armistice Day by pausing for a short act of remembrance at 11, praying for the peace of the world and for the repose of the souls of all those of this and every nation killed in armed conflict.

A prayer for Remembrance Day

Prayers for the new Archbishop of Wales!

The students organised an excellent Bonfire Night celebration!

Every week, the brethren of the Community have a gardening afternoon, and students and others are welcome to join. Here’s a mixture of ordinands and monks enjoying the fresh air and honest toil that help keep our grounds beautiful.

Mass for All Souls this evening

We often send students on placement to the Crypt (and have again this year). It does wonderful work and we give thanks for them!

On Thursday afternoons instead of evening prayer with the Brethren of CR, there is a student led service, which can take any form they choose. Tonight we had a beautiful time of prayer after the customs of Taizé.

Happy feast of Simon and Jude! This is the college’s Foundation Day, so a special occasion for us. We like to think that the most obscure of the apostles are perfect patrons for a college that’s always focussed on producing priests who serve parish and people.

Almost 150 years on, the Revd Edward Cragg Haynes, a Barbados-born man, is commemorated by his former parish. Holly-Anna Petersen reports #BlackHistoryMonth

One of our ordinands, Toby, is pioneering the joint contextual training pathway we offer with our friends @sthild.org. Read more about his story and experience here! sthild.org/testimonials...

The College grounds looking beautiful, even on a grey misty day.

More on Paulinus on this, his feast.

Today the Church celebrates St Paulinus, who came from Rome as a missionary to the North of England from Rome. He’s literally close to us in Mirfield, as he founded Dewsbury Minster, just along the valley from us, and brought the Christian faith to this place.

The #SST26 call for papers is live! Deadline 14th Dec. Theme: “Theology: A Discipline of Failure” Bursary applications also open www.theologysociety.org.uk/information/...

“God is for us. That is what this word Father teaches us.” This morning, I led the first in a series of Daily Services exploring the Lord’s Prayer on BBC Radio 4 Extra. You can listen back here 👇 https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002k4nx

Today Bishop Sarah Mullally, nominated as the 106th Archbishop of Canterbury, made her first address at Canterbury Cathedral. Watch the address at cofe.io/106thArchbishopAddress.

The College assures Bishop Sarah Mullally of our prayers as she prepares to take up her new responsibilities as Archbishop of Canterbury.

Praying for those injured in the appalling stabbing at Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation, Manchester, on Yom Kippur. May the memories of those killed be for a blessing.

It was a joy and privilege to be formally welcomed to the @leeds.anglican.org and installed in @wakecathedral.bsky.social this afternoon. Feeling very thankful for so many kind words of welcome. #CofE

Pray with us as we celebrate the Feast of Michael and All Angels. Go to cofe.io/TodaysPrayer to learn more.

#MorningPrayer Let us hear anew, Lord, the message of your angels: “do not be afraid”. May we know that we are held in your love and in your arms, defended from all that would assail or hurt our souls. Keep us true to your calling, that we may, like your angels, follow your will.

Students at the College of the Resurrection share out some of the duties that enable us to live together. Here some of our students are initiated into the mysteries of what happens to the post…

The first College Mass of term!

Delicious cake at elevenses!

Happy feast of St Matthew! As is tradition, we marked the feast with Mattins half an hour later than usual (we join the Community for Mass this evening) and a cooked breakfast.

It’s the first Sunday of term. Staff and students join the brethren of the Community of the Resurrection for mattins and Mass. Later in the term students will head out on placement at local churches, but for now there’s time to relax (or get some reading done!)

On this International Day of Peace, please join me and ecumencial colleagues in praying this prayer written by Archbishop Hosam of Jerusalem. www.youtube.com/shorts/ZWBTn...

Having completed the serious business of induction week, we’re off on a lovely walk! And the weather forecast has improved…

Bishop Arun Arora - well said.

Please join us in praying today for our Chair of Trustees, Leah Vasey-Saunders, as she responds to God's calling. Come, Holy Spirit... If you can't make it to the Minster, you are welcome to join in via the livestream.

Meeting key members of the wider group that supports the college - support staff, some of the brethren of the Community of the Resurrection, Dr Janet Williams representing both our friends at @sthild.org and our academic partners YTEP who link us to Durham, and the college chaplain Fr Bruce.

A rainbow greets us as we head to chapel for the first Mattins of the year!

Welcome back to our returners and families, and a special welcome to our ten new ordinands and families! We are looking forward to a year of prayer, study, and service.

Legilium at work! 😍 cc @dankaszeta.bsky.social
