While it’s important to be clear that Synod has not done anything to change the C of E’s position on same sex marriage for the clergy, “Issues in Human Sexuality” was a horrible, harmful document (used as it was never intended to be). I’m so glad it’s now consigned to history, on such a clear vote.

"Issues" is no more! Why what the Church of England did today in binning an offensive document about sexuality really matters. thurible.net/2025/07/15/i...

Have we got a #ClergyWeMadeItToEasterDayClub? Prayers for all who keep the rumour of God alive. #CofEpeeps

Wow! Over a 100 people gathered to celebrate Easter Day. Thanks to @bishopoflynn.bsky.social our musicians and singers who add so much to worship. Alleluia! Christ is risen. He is risen indeed. Alleluia! #FeelTheJoy #ShareTheLove #Community #WeAreEasterPeople @dioceseofnorwich.bsky.social

Alleluia! Christ is risen! The stone rolled from the tomb, wonderful confirmations in Fakenham, life in God renewed. Alleluia! He is risen indeed. Alleluia! @dioceseofnorwich.bsky.social @revtracyjessop.bsky.social

It is finished. Deafening silence as we gathered to witness the final hour. And now we wait. @bishopoflynn.bsky.social

Palm Sunday. Giving those who long for your saving love a new song to sing: Hosanna! The start of Holy Week as we journey to the Cross. @bishopoflynn.bsky.social @dioceseofnorwich.bsky.social

Telling it like it is. #ShareTheLove #FeelTheJoy

Inspired by medieval history, the Rector of St Peter and St Paul, Fakenham, the Revd Tracy Jessop, will be pulling pints of the church’s own ale at the Norfolk town’s annual Gin and Beer Festival this weekend

Visited the lovely people at Barsham Brewery to see our beer, Two Apostles, coming together. Happy to keep the medieval tradition of Church Ales alive! The Fakenham Beer and Gin Festival is on 21/22 March. @dioceseofnorwich.bsky.social

Services today in church remind me why I followed God’s great big nudge to priesthood. #Thankfulness

Today is International Womens Day. 'Dear Lord, we celebrate the strength and courage of women in every corner of the world. Amen.' “She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future.” Proverbs 31.25 #IWD

Stunning day for a walk. #sabbath.

“Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return. Turn away from sin and be faithful to Christ.”

Shrove Tuesday lunch of Soup and Pancakes. We ran out of seats but never run out of food! Parish ministry at its hospitable best. #community #ShareTheLove #FeelTheJoy @dioceseofnorwich.bsky.social

A verse from Psalm 69, set for today’s Evening Prayer: ‘Those who would destroy me are mighty; my enemies accuse me falsely: must I now give back what I never stole?’ It might have come straight from President Zelenskyy if he hadn’t been shouted down in the Oval Office. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦

#NotreDame C’est magnifique

Birthday mass with some of the faithful. Off for a few days now. Walk at the beach. Glass of fizz. #Blessings

Today has featured… ✝️ wedding prep with a couple ✝️ blessing a house ✝️ writing a sermon ✝️ calls checking in with people & squeezed in making this year’s marmalade. #parishministry #cofepeeps

The Rectory garden is on point today.

The Revd Richard Turk now licensed to Bawdeswell, Bylaugh, Elsing, Foulsham, Foxley, Lyng. Sparham and Themelthorpe with great joy in a packed and beautiful St Mary's Elsing. Thank you to St Mary's for hosting and to all who came to pray for Richard and to welcome him. @dioceseofnorwich.bsky.social

A beautiful letter from +Bev. I can’t imagine what she’s been going through. Praying for her and all the people of her diocese.

A prayer for the Church. Most merciful God, we confess to you, before the whole company of heaven and one another, that we have sinned in thought, word and deed and in what we have failed to do. Forgive us our sins, heal us by your Spirit and raise us to new life in Christ. Amen.

With @bishopoflynn.bsky.social and some hardy souls from the Town council for consecration of a cemetery extension. Walked the bounds, prayed and blessed. #CofEPeeps

There’s real joy in writing the new Christian’s name in their own shell as a permanent reminder of the momentous day. Perfect timing for tomorrow! #BaptismOfChrist #CofEpeeps

I’m glad I kept lots of my study books. ‘You’ll never use them’, said some. Well I do. And I’m grateful for still learning. (Delving into Isaiah prompted by Morning Prayer today.) #CofEpeeps

Weekday parish communions are a joy and a privilege. Hardy souls braving the cold chill to prayer for the world, the church and each other. Breaking bread for themselves and for the bettering of humanity. Refreshed and sustained, off we go in the name of Christ. Amen.

I could see my breath again for Morning Prayer. So cold. Wednesday is the only day I get other human company to say the Office so it was warm in other ways. #DailyPrayer #TheOffice #RuralMinistry

I’m hoping this is much better than the other place.
