A luminous pause on Hadrian’s Wall - the southward view near Sycamore Gap, taken last month after walking the line. It speaks of scale, for me - the building being absorbed by the light.

This year's Thy Kingdom Come runs from 14-24 May. It focuses on the God who is with us in the everyday, and who through his spirit longs to reveal himself to those who don't yet know him. Find all your 2026 resources and get involved at cofe.io/TKC.

David Brooks's magnum opus on leadership, "America Needs a Trimmer," March 25, 2026. It's an excellent long essay rooted in historical observations on how to lead with wisdom long-term. There's alot of overlap with what I teach. Gift article: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

None of the Iran War's stated strategic objectives have been achieved. Highly repressive regime still in Tehran, nuclear program still intact, missiles & drones still launching. And US now suddenly pausing effort to re-open Hormuz-- a problem that did not exist before the war. It's mind-boggling.

The richest Americans saw their net worth soar 120% from 2017 to 2025. The top 1% now control $55.8 trillion in assets — more than the G.D.P. of the United States and China combined. Meanwhile, millions of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Still wondering if inequality is out of control?

UP THE MAY! In case you missed it, or you want to see it again, here’s a taste of the Hymnus Eucharisticus from the top of the Tower on May Morning. It was so wonderful to see you all packed onto the High for another beautiful May Morning. #maymorning #oxford #magdalencollege

Their Majesties The King and Queen were crowned here in Westminster Abbey three years ago today, on 6 May 2023. You can read more and see photographs from the service at: www.westminster-abbey.org/abbey-news/their-majesties-the-king-and-queen-crowned-at-the-abbey-during-coronation

On Thomas (John 20): Recognition by scars is a trope in antiquity, as when the much older and changed Odysseus, returning from his wars and wanderings, is recognized by his old nurse (Odyssey, 19.353-56). Yet there is no comparable elapse of time here; so why emphasize the marks of crucifixion? 1/5

It is not faith as such, but faith in the one whose death had this character, that marks the follower of Jesus. To sanctify violence, and to manipulate truth, is always to take Pilate's side. 5/5 More at open.substack.com/pub/abmcg/p/...

Oh, yeah, that was the Obama Iran deal.

So we have two real estate guys, and the guy Iran wanted, negotiating for the US, with no consultation with State Department experts. What could go wrong.

The salient issue of the war (Iran's uranium stockpile) remains unresolved after 40 days of conflict. Extremely unlikely that Iran surrenders it. If Trump is determined to secure it, he'll have to order a highly risky operation to capture it, which could plunge Iran/US and the region back into war.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer was a German pastor who opposed the Nazi dictatorship. On the anniversary of his execution by the regime in 1945, hear the story of Bonhoeffer's time in London and the making of a modern martyr: www.westminster-abbey.org/about/abbey-review/stories/bonhoeffer-the-london-years

As we continue in this sacred Octave of Easter, we invite you to pause - even for a moment - and let the ancient truth wash over you. You are loved by a God who conquered death for you. May the joy of the Risen Christ be with you and your families throughout this blessed Easter season.

Wow. So...having been denied entry to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, it appears that the Latin Patriarch held services outdoors. At Gethsemane. 10/10 use of symbolism, no notes. www.lpj.org/en/news/medi...

I heartily recommend this excellent book by @drrleong.bsky.social , both as an insightful ethic of dating/couple relationships and as a strong demonstration of Christian virtue ethics. Here is an open access link to my short review: durham-repository.worktribe.com/output/5078489

You know, you might have thought this was predictable, given what happened in Vietnam…

A state visit is the highest diplomatic honour we can bestow. It must not be used to reward a President who has launched an illegal war, brought UK troops into harm’s way, and driven up energy and petrol prices for British families.

I think I have understood the Beatitudes better, as literature and everything else, in the last year than ever in my life. Just the language I know. www.biblegateway.com/passage/?sea...

I know the passion narratives are difficult and the problem of anti-Judaism should be addressed. I don't think Episcopalians need more excuses to avoid difficult biblical texts. We need more and better teaching and study, not hermeneutics of excision and deflection, in Holy Week and otherwise.

This is an extraordinary St Patrick’s Day message from NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani He’s clearly been briefed by someone familiar with the Irish history of anti-colonialism and the Irish people’s overwhelming sympathy for Palestinians today

Join us in prayer this Mothering Sunday. 🙏 💜

Pray for Iran.

A challenging aspect of navigating the Iran War is reconciling the desire for Trump to fail, so it doesn't encourage further reckless military ventures, with the reality that a US defeat, where an enraged Iranian regime survives and keeps its uranium, would be incredibly bad for the region & world.

can this be a solution?

We have several Iranian immigrant neighbors. I checked in with one today and the news and photos she shared broke my heart. Pray for the brave people of Iran.

I know I’m a slow processor on this stuff, and re Gorton and Denton I have no specific skin in that constituency, but a PM calling people who vote Green ‘extremists’ is a *really* bad look …
