“Some of them say that we’re sick, we’re crazy. And some of them think that we are the most gorgeous, special things on Earth.” - Venus Xtravaganza (1965-1988) in Paris is Burning (1990)

Good to see how people from across the world in the replies agree that this is not normal.

Using the trans panic defense is legal in 30 states in the United States.

It's a yes! Thank you for all your prayer and support ❤️

Every Eucharist is a protest against a world that devours the vulnerable.

I hear the results from the Bishops' Advisory Panel tomorrow (Friday) evening. Please pray for me as I wait and receive the results. Knowing that the decision has been made, but I'm not hearing back until tomorrow, I feel like Schrödinger's ordinand 😅 🕯

Please pray for me as I approach my Stage 2 Bishops' Advisory Panel which begins tomorrow. Please pray also for the other candidates, the advisors, panel staff, and our sponsoring bishops 🙏 🕯

Looking forward to preaching at our weekly Eucharist service today on the Feast of S. Matthias!

I was incredibly fortunate to be at the See of Fulham's Chrism Mass earlier this week. And, as an Anglo-Catholic woman who is discerning ordained ministry, I completely agree with him. The Catholic tradition in the CofE is living - not dead! www.churchtimes.co.uk/articles/202...

Jesu, mercy! Mary, pray! 😢🙏 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This 20 year old trans woman, Marcy Rheintgen, faces up to 60 days in prison for entering women's toilets to wash her hands and pray the Rosary. What a queen 👸 www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-...

Friends, I would appreciate prayer for my Stage 1* which is a week from today 🙏🏻 🕯️ *In the Church of England, the first panel to assess calling to and readiness to train for ordained ministry. This is a formative stage to prepare for a Stage 2 panel.

I'm reading this book for work and learning so much about what resilience means. That it's learnt rather than innate. And that it's okay to go through rough patches, as long as we keep our eyes on God, and look to him for our identity and self-worth ❤️🙏🏻 🕯️

Pleased that I no longer have to dip into the Roman Breviary to find a daily spiritual reading 🙏🏻 (except when I choose to graft the occasional Roman Catholic saint into the CofE Kalendar 🤭🤫) 🕯️

A real joy to be back in Oxford on pilgrimage for the Feast of S. Frideswide with other chaplaincies 🙏🏻❤️🕯️

Eek! Excited and a bit nervous to be in the national discernment process. Please do pray 🙏🏻 🕯️

My first time in a cope and biretta! 🕯️ (with @scholarpriest.bsky.social at St German's Church, Cardiff)

On the platform at Doncaster train station. I put my hand in my coat pocket and found a candle from the Mirfield Easter Vigil. I wasn't comfortable with throwing away a candle which has held a blessed flame so I will place it in front of the statue of Our Lady in our church 🙏🏻 🕯️

Blessed be Jesus in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar 🕯️

Taking Holy Communion to a care home is always a joy!

Time to make sure my bookmarks are in the correct places in my Common Worship: Pastoral Services book. I love care home Communion by Extension services! 🕯️

It seems *the other place* is limiting how many posts that non-paying users can see. That might be my cue to use this app more...

Really appalled at the New York Archdiocese for their statement disavowing the use of St Patrick’s Cathedral for the funeral of trans activist Cecilia Gentili. “Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.” www.washingtonpost.com/religion/202...

Today, I imposed ashes for the first time. It was a very special moment 🕯️

Taking Holy Communion to care homes is always special. The residents and staff are so welcoming and it's a privilege to administer the Body and Blood of Christ to people. Please pray for a faithful resident, whose life may be fading, especially that she will receive the Last Rites first 🕯️

You might think that an article about kids being fast-tracked into hormones and surgery would include a single example of a kid being fast-tracked into hormones and surgery but nope! www.nytimes.com/2024/02/02/o...

My homily/sermon (is there a difference?) for the First Sunday of Lent is taking shape. It looks as if the homily I plan to give will be quite controversial... I will have to write a safer backup just in case... 🕯️

I have the flu 😔 Thankfully it's not Covid, but I don't want to spread the flu at church, and also feel like s**t. Hopefully I'll feel better in a few days...

Happy New Year everyone!!!
