New vestments made for us at Rochester Cathedral used today at Pentecost Eucharist.

Very sad to hear today of the death of fellow priest and musician Ron Corp. May he rest in peace and rise in glory. slippedisc.com/2025/05/sudd...

Super excited that our hit carol from last year, 'Bethlehem Whispers' by Thomas Hewitt Jones and I is now fully available in sheet music from Stainer and Bell so choirs can enjoy singing it themselves! recording on Vivum Music via the link below. stainer.co.uk/shop/cn79/

@rochestercathedral.bsky.social today.

Death is de-gated, unfenced, dispossessed, deposed, by the Spirit. Dead Son is declutched, unclasped, snatched out, scooped up, by the Father. Repatriation. @grahamkings.bsky.social #Easter

The hour of starkness fully come, The Dealer is struck and laid in the tomb. Then is the end, but the end is of death: Through terrifying life in the depths, Death is destroyed, exploded inside. Before the rolling of the stone and the coming of the women came the rising. 2/3 GK #Easter

Between the rolling of the stone and the crying of the name came the agonising. Shuddering, Jesus stares into the tomb, Making a deal with death in the depths. A greedy exchange is strangely agreed: Lazarus comes out and he will go in, The prize of life for the price of death. 1/3

‘Magdalene’ by Silvia Dimitrova. #Easter #poem @grahamkings.bsky.social www.grahamkings.org/poem/magdale...

"... because of our desire to share the inspirational ministry of women”. This Holy Week @rochestercathedral.bsky.social is celebrating women in scripture through music, poetry and art.

I’ve been prevailed upon to publish this, which is due for proper publication later in the year. But for now, if you are interested on how AI rubs up against aesthetic theory have a look.

Rochester Kings Orchard yesterday.

@rochestercathedral.bsky.social was founded in 604, making it the second-oldest of England's cathedrals. My visit in June 2022 featured sunshine, Luke Jerram's 'Gaia' and, (thanks to the lovely @canongordon.bsky.social), out-of-hours access and a mini tour! #AdventCathedralling #CofE

For the last month we have hosted the @loudfenceuk.bsky.social at RochesterCathedral in the Diocese of Rochester. It will soon be taken down as planned, but we will continue to prioritise safeguarding and put victims and survivors first.

Another new release today… open.spotify.com/album/7mAO6X...

Latest song from youtu.be/4nGa8Qqi3w4?... Tommy Hewitt Jones @vivummusic.bsky.social and I. Let us know what you think!

Last night at a special safeguarding service at @rochestercathedral.bsky.social we sang ‘Ribbons of Hope’ a song celebrating the @loudfenceuk.bsky.social movement and initiative. It’s a lovely song with a powerful message. Seek it out.

www.rochestercathedral.org/articles/202... The LOUDfence at Rochester Cathedral will remain in place until 27th November. Please tie a message and/or ribbon to the railings and make your voice and your compassion visible.
