Sad to see newspapers decry Church Commissioners' attempt to right wrongs of slaving (Project Spire).The money isn't from church collections.The chattel slave trade was iniquitous. Scripture says, 'Do not tire of doing good' (Gal. 6:9). So let's support those affected. @dioceseofnorwich.bsky.social

Just arrived at beautiful S Mary Brancaster for the 4pm carol service. Glorious to be leading this. The Word became flash and lived among us. Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.

Thank you @malcolmguite.bsky.social for an amazing retreat in Canterbury Cathedral. Poems as prayers, phrases to feed the soul, an alphabet of prayer. The attention of my mind was awakened. Thank you.

I'm holding on to Advent but Christmas is coming. If you're starting the food shop, @trusselluk.bsky.social food banks could do with non perishable items too. Add a few and help someone else's family to a better Christmas @churchofengland.org @dioceseofnorwich.bsky.social

A priest-in-charge and a curate for the Coxfords group of parishes licensed this evening. A great start to Advent. Please pray for both clergy and all with whom they minister @dioceseofnorwich.bsky.social

It was wonderful to open Fakenham parish church's Christmas tree festival on Wednesday: 25 years, over £1.5m for charity. Check BBC Look East (27/11) to watch - or go to King's Lynn Minster for theirs if you missed it. @revkyla.bsky.social @revtracyjessop.bsky.social @dioceseofnorwich.bsky.social
