The blue dot @TruroCathedral always reminds me of the intercessions of Our Lady. I love the way the blue moves around.

The Prime Minister rightly said that the urgent need to increase defence spending is a ‘generational challenge’. It requires a generational response. Raiding the aid budget does not meet that standard. My letter to @thetimes.com today

So what if we are losing our privileged place in society? We never did our best work there anyway. We’re always our best on the bottom or the edge. This is a great time to remember the saints and mystics who founded our traditions, the ones who did their work from the margins.

A Happy New Year from all of us at St Hilary Church! Praying that 2025 will be a year of doing justly, loving mercy, and walking a great deal more humbly with God. @diotruro.bsky.social @revsimonjr.bsky.social @hughnel.bsky.social

A mackerel sky over Mexico Beach, Cornwall. Ending the day with calm. Sleep well, my friends, and know that your best today was good enough. 😊 #Cornwall #sunset #nature #calm #peace #sky #beach #ocean #life #photography

The most courageous thing we can do is surrender to the pause. May Sarton knew this when she observed in her reckoning with despair that “sometimes one has to endure a period of depression for what it may hold of illumination if one can live through it, attentive to what it exposes or demands.”

President Jimmy Carter has passed away at the age of 100. He was a symbol of what is best about America: kindness, compassion, duty and service. He will be missed, most of all by those who long for a return of that kind of country, led by a man with such strength of character.

Rest in peace, Jimmy Carter. "I have fought the good fight; I have finished the race; I have kept the faith" (2 Tim 4:7)

Truro Cathedral, kissed by the low winter sun. When I took this shot, I loved how the edge of the cottages were lined with a shimmer of light and the sky had turned a bronze colour. The Cathedral standing proud in the centre. 😊 #Cornwall #Truro #calm #peace #sky #sunset #winter #life #photography

Some Cornish calm to end your day. 😊 #Cornwall #sunset #sky #ocean #nature #peace #photography #sunset

Visiting mum. It seems that the Midlands is covered in a vast blanket of fog!

Organ voluntary that's just All I Want For Christmas, except the organ is ENORMOUS, the venue is a cathedral, and the floor is vibrating at the bass notes.

This, so this from my stunning colleague @hughnel.bsky.social

“Our whole life is Advent - a time of waiting for the ultimate, for the time when there will be a new heaven and a new earth, when all peoples are brothers and sisters and one rejoices in the words of the angels: “On earth peace to those on whom God’s favour rests.” - Dietrich Bonhoeffer 🌟❤️👼

Looking forward to our new Family Christmas Service. Some of the interactive stations in @trurocathedral.bsky.social ready for the children to engage with in the service.
