#ToPray ✝️ When you worship power, compassion and mercy will look like sins. (Benjamin Cremer)

So I am assuming that every Bishop in the Church of England will immediately be contacting all their gay clergy, and offering them appropriate pastoral care. #cofepeeps

Not everyday you get sandwiched between Jeremy Corbyn and Harry Baker! #greenbelt2025

It’s a really easy read I’m told 😊

So ridiculously excited about getting to talk at #greenbelt and also quite terrified… #cofepeeps

Enjoying my first bubble tea at #coventrypride

New YouGov polling. A monumental failure of our political class to educate, a monumental failure of our media to report fairly, for a generation

LOL

Today I stood in the shade of an oak tree that is probably 1000 years old. #perspective

The perfect ordination gift. #cofepeeps

We are SO excited to be joined by some wonderful folk at our National Gathering this month! Check out Josie's workshop and book your place at movement.org.uk/events✌️

Wow, the new Nemo song was absolutely the best part of the whole show. So raw and so beautiful. #eurovision

If I could be bothered to vote (which I can’t) I’d go for Italy and Austria. Sweden can manage without my support. #eurovision

Too worried about her getting gravel in her mouth to pay attention to the song. #france #eurovision

Sweden are just so good at this #eurovision thing. Perfect level of nonsense.

It would be welcome to see one or two episcopal signatures added to this letter …

Since Coventry's destruction in WWII, its Cathedral has stood for reconciliation and peace. The new Canon for Reconciliation and Art @katemassey.bsky.social tells how art can offer ways to heal historic wounds and foster justice and peace. Angela Youngman reports:

Finally managed to deactivate my X account. Feels good.

The sermons are a bit different at St Clare’s. We create them together. #cofe

We've not one, but two new blog reviews up on the website! See if you recognise one of the authors 😉 Head to movement.org.uk/blog to check out our members' reviews of Lectio Divina by Barbara Birch, and Simple, Generous, Open, by Charlotte Gale ➡️

So touched by this review and not just because he describes my writing as genius 😊. He really gets what I was trying to do in writing the book, and that is incredibly gratifying. #cofe #narthex @canterburypress.bsky.social

The existence of Archaeologists implies a lower rank of Aeologists

A beautiful day to be in Oxford. I’ve been on a panel talking about the discrimination that women in ministry still experience and it’s intersection with LGBTQ+ affirmation. What if one day we didn’t have anything left to say and could just enjoy the sunshine? #NotEqualYet #IWD

Heard today that a lovely chap who regularly popped into the shop for a chat, had taken his own life. I had no idea he was struggling. Sometimes life is so desperately sad.

A reminder for these times.

Only a few days more to get your ‘Retreat in a Bag’ at the special pre-Lent price. #cofe #retreat #lent

If you are planning a quiet day or retreat during Lent, why not take a St Clare’s'Retreat in a Bag' with you. There are six different ones to choose from, and we have reduced the price to £25 for ONE WEEK ONLY. Offer lasts until Ash Wednesday. #CofE stclaresatthecathedral.org/product-cate...

We have builders in. They’re going to be here a while. We made them mugs. #sublimationprinting

More really good stuff from Al.

A photo Mum took while on vacation in Ireland 2015. If only life was this peaceful. ❤️❤️❤️😻 #CatsOfBluesky #ThrowbackThursday

Packaging ‘Face to Face with Jesus’ packs. I’ve done hundreds and hundreds of them, and yet every time there is something new to find in these images of Jesus. #cofe stclaresatthecathedral.org/product/face...

"What does it mean to hold God in your arms and know that you're dying?" A little poem for Candlemas.

Indeed 🤣

YET ANOTHER STUDY shows that a tiny number of children are diagnosed with gender dysphoria and an even tinier fraction receive puberty blockers or hormones. Anyone still pretending there is a "debate" about this is willfully ignoring all of the available data. gidmk.substack.com/p/gender-dys...

I’ve just popped this lovely pre-loved 4 piece home communion set in the St Clare’s Shop. #cofepeeps

Oh no…..

Yesterday I read this small and wondrous book. A vision of what the world could be… also really encouraging to any downhearted clergy. Cannot recommend it highly enough. #booksky

*PRIZE*👇 #cofepeeps

Packing up the nativities in St Clare’s shop and thought I’d send one out as a gift to someone. Repost this post for a chance to win this Fair Trade nativity set from Peru.

Incredibly sad to hear Geoffrey Tattersall has died. He was one of those people who, with his various post-nominals and immense experience, could have easily had no time for someone like me (who knows basically nothing). But he was always so kind, patient, and generous in my time with him on Synod

Nooooooo…….

“We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing” George Bernard Shaw

Doing a massive sort of the tools in the garage. Turns out we have 28 screwdrivers including two electric ones, yet there was only 1 we felt if was safe to get rid of. 😳

I just read @revcharlottegale.bsky.social 's book "Simple, Generous, Open". It's a remarkable story of faithfulness to God's calling and a determination to live out the vision of every person being valuable as they are. If you haven't read it, I suggest you do. #CofEpeeps

Lying in bed at 10 am on a Sunday, listening to church bells ringing. Clergy heaven. (Well, it is after the initial Pavlovian response that you’re supposed to be there) #cofepeeps

Word of the day is a favourite for this time of year. To be ‘crambazzled’, in old Yorkshire dialect, is to be prematurely aged by excess drinking or partying.

See what you’ve done @snim2.org I guessed all the words (51 out of 51) in today's Squares puzzle. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Can you guess this puzzle? squares.org

Happy Boxing Day. Favourite day of the year of clergy everywhere. #cofepeeps

A few potential words of the day: Joblijock: a disturber of domestic peace (small children, cantankerous uncles, etc). Yule-hole: the furthest notch in your belt that you need to resort to at Christmas. Confelicity: joy in other people’s happiness. Merry Christmas.

A gift for Christmas Eve from a member St Clare’s. #cofepeeps #narthex
