What a brilliant message, what a great bishop. @sheffdio.org is a wonderful place!! @bishoppete.bsky.social

If episcopal ministry can be more glorious than this, I’m not sure how: it was my privilege today to ordain this fabulous cohort of 16 new priests. The Cathedral was rammed, the singing (choral & congregational) was rapturous & the sermon was hugely ‘uplifting’ — & those present will get the point.

What an honour to be part of this incredible thing with these astonishing people!

Fabulous day watching my daughter in a school tournament at @unofficialrufc.bsky.social

"What about organising a church prayer walk for Arise Rotherham? Could you set up events during the month where people can set out together?" John Hibberd looks ahead to Arise Rotherham (1st-31st March). ➡️ www.sheffield.anglican.org/arise-rotherham-maybe-we-could-pray-together/

On a practical level, younger folk are often working, Dioceses do, and can provide loss of earnings when taking unpaid leave to attend Synod. Our Diocese is also happy to reimburse upfront for the likes of hotel and travel. It's still an expense, but lightens it a little.

Praying tonight for the baffled, the bruised and the believing. #VicaragePrayers

Spring is coming in Rotherham!
