Wonderful to be licensed as the Director of Youth Ministry in Communion Southwark #CofEPeeps

My reaction when a kid in my chaplaincy workshop had the friendship bracelet he made stolen and broken by school bullies:

This is sadly not shocking but hurtful all the same. Action is long overdue! These delay tactics are a woeful indictment on the ability of the House of Bishops to fulfil its duty. #CofEPeeps

I am very touched to have this happen in the local paper this week. As a priest, one is always passing through. But it has been an immense place to pass through. I will miss this town and the music scene.

Putting final touches to tomorrow's sermon. Reflecting on Isaiah and Blue Monday. Thinking that, no matter how bad things seem, God is with us, and his promises are true. When we pass through the raging waters he will be with us. ##CofEPeeps

It was announced today that, subject to the usual legal formalities, I have been appointed as the Director of YMIC Southwark and Associate Priest in Putney. Looking to start after Easter.

Rejoice with me for today my delightful pooch Ezekiel turned 8. Roast chicken for dinner me thinks 🍗

Do GB News really not have anything better to do with their time. Such a sad excuse for journalism. I personally love the idea of the Suffragette line.

The joys of a good clean of the house whilst Lord of the Rings is on the TV. Extended cut only 🎬

Now, I don't have children, nor am I the incumbent. However, as a curate in a vacancy, this meme hit harder than ever before 😂 Big love to the vicarage families at this time. #CofEPeeps

The cutting of The Holy Thorn has been going on since the reign of King James I and continues to this day. The Thorn is cut by the eldest children of St John's school. Such a joy to send this little bit of Glastonbury to the King. #CofEPeeps

My hope for a new ABC is be to end the notion that the bishops are ever really 'of one mind'. We know there are disagreements. Model the good disagreement you ask of us. Lose the rather flacid political answers and give us the meat of the debate. #CofEPeeps P.S. +Helen-Ann you rock!

HE SEES YOU WHEN YOU'RE SLEEPING HE KNOWS WHEN YOU'RE AWAKE HE KNOWS IF YOU'VE BEEN BAD OR GOOD SO KEEP IT SECRET, KEEP IT SAFE

🍽 what's cooking! Smoked Mackrel with cous cous. Served with a side of brocoli🥦 and a pomegranate and feta salad 🥗 A crisp white wine to settle it 🥂

Perhaps instead of the pink candle debate, we should discuss the idea that every priest needs a Barbie pink mini chainsaw. 💗 #CofEPeeps

When your partner listens to you and validates your emotions.

As we approach this busy time of bespoke service booklets, we ask the Lord to bless, keep, and preserve all parish printers 🖨 be merciful, dear Lord. St John of God, patron of printers, ora pro nobis ! #CofEPeeps

Advent: what if we make it, not so much about waiting, but more about the practice of imagining differently? Imagine a world soaked with the immanence of becoming. The ridiculousness of a child subverting war. The audacity of a little one, leaping out from the hidden places, with energetic love

I promise I do sometimes wear something other than my cassock. But on this occasion, I promised this couple a bouncy castle pic after their wedding. Ask and ye shall receive.... #CofEPeeps

#CofEPeeps I have been advised by the good parish of Glastonbury that cassock and Doc Martin boots are the way forward, thoughts ?

Zeki and I hit the Glastonbury Frost Fayre today! Lots of food, lots of mulled wine, lots of people, lots of cheer. Good old fashioned parish business. @bathandwells.bsky.social

I was genuinely impressed with the quality of debate on assisted dying in parliament today. Though the vote did not go the way I would have liked. But what I am happy about is the tone and tenor of house on matters of such importance. Now, we must pray for robust committee scrutiny
