Statement on the passing of Pope Francis RIP 🕊️

Easter joy breaks from Jerusalem even in midst of the all that is so destructive. The resurrection is given to us not as a comfort but as a calling to strive for all that is for life and peace.

What do we mean when we say women can be ‘too muscular’?

I’m in Bristol next Saturday, reading poems at the Lyra Poetry Festival. If you nearby to St George’s and fancy coming along, there are a few tickets left here: www.stgeorgesbristol.co.uk/whats-on/bri...

Them: "Hail thee, Festival Day is an unnecessarily confusing hymn." Me: "No, it isn't. Look..." Get your Easter Day hymnody sorted with our helpful explanatory flowchart.

This is brilliant. And true.

Just received letter of support from +Christopher Chessun, Bishop of Southwark, to be read at the #NotEqualYet conference tomorrow. & also official message of support from +Martin Gainsborough, Bishop of Kingston. Thank you both so much. Not too late to get tix www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/not-equal-...

@doublehelix isn't this great!

Watching the Brits and struck by the number of artists giving glory to God, and those who are grateful for the best of the UK Education system, in their speeches.

I'm in Bath this Saturday running a poetry workshop for kids (4-10) at 2pm, a poetry workshop for adults at 3pm, and then there will be poetry performances from 5pm Find out more and book tickets here: oasisbath.churchsuite.com/events/7yxla...

Home communion today with someone who, for various reasons, hadn't received it for 6 years. Her (understated) response: "Let's not leave it so long next time, eh pet?" Indeed. I'll be back next month. (If you've not received communion for a (long) while, and want to, maybe take this as a sign...)

A good time was had @bristoldiocese.org today, particularly @bristolcathedral.bsky.social with @mandyford.bsky.social and her lovely Team. Greetings to @southwarkcathedral.bsky.social and @southwark.anglican.org especially @BishopofKingston

Grateful for any able to share this post being advertised as widely as possible. Might it be for someone you know? Will be delighted to welcome a colleague on this adventure with me! #praying #hopeful

Food banks provide so much more than food. 💚

Luke 23:12 - "That same day Herod and Pilate became friends with each other; before this they had been enemies." www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

This was utterly inspirational. In the worst possible situation Mina’s courage & candour are beyond measure #recommend

The people of Europe stand with Ukraine against the threat of a false peace as much as brutal war. Because of our shared history. Because of our shared future. Because it is just. Because it is necessary. And because they deserve nothing less. Don't abandon them. #SlavaUkraini youtu.be/u8GftJEa4_8

I’ve been meaning to do this for a long time! Why don’t you join me?

Well done for making it to the end of January. Stop whatever you're doing and read a book to reward yourself. If you don't have a book, then buy one from an indie bookshop, that way you'll be making TWO people happy.

Tell people you love them. Tell them what about them makes you smile. You never know when they might need to hear it. Or when you will end up appreciating the fact that you did it.

Blue skies are on our mind at the moment. We’re leaving Twitter this month for these sunnier, healthier climes. To celebrate, here are some memories of warmer, better times, when we all lived together for a few days in some beautiful fields.

Me too! A gratefully received Christmas present.

Walking home enjoying Bristol in the crisp, clear air, following dinner with former and current colleagues from the Church of England national services. A bunch of kind, wise and witty folk who are dedicated to what they do to serve the church.

Really good to mark Epiphany with the licensing of Becca Stevens as new Diocesan Director of Ordinands @bristoldiocese.org and then gather ordinands for a meal. @bpviv.bsky.social @mandyford.bsky.social

📣 Jonnie Parkin, Canon Missioner at Bristol Cathedral: "I support the Climate and Nature Bill because in my faith it’s essential that we look after the planet. We're called to look after it, care for it, nurture it and cherish it. So, I see it as part of our duty to care for the planet." #CANBill

‘Clear creative abuse’: UK gravestone carvers condemn blatant reproduction of their designs

‘The impact has been out of this world’: the stranger who gave away a £100,000 inheritance to his neighbours

Today the church remembers the Holy Innocents - the innocent children killed as Herod tried to kill the child Jesus. Praying for all whose death or suffering is dismissed as ‘collateral damage’ in Gaza, Ukraine, Sudan & other wars. Praying also for all harmed by safeguarding failures in the church.

December roses at Christmas. #hope #tinyjoys

Hurray! With help from @ccullingworth.bsky.social and @emjric.bsky.social I have found #JoinIn in time for this year! Could you do with some online company over Christmas? On your own and want a friendly chat and folks to share with? With others, but need…a break from them 😬 Join In! is for you.

Arrived at the cathedral early and one of the organists is rehearsing, the verger is sorting chairs and the cleaner is tidying up after last night's concert Strength to all serving in churches & cathedrals at this busy time - so much happens behind the scenes to get everything ready #CofEPeeps

The calm before the storm. Christmas baking.

Thank you Simon, for reminding us of the complexity facing the church, while our hearts ache for victims and survivors

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

I was shaking by the time I’d finished listening to Tallulah’s review. I am floored by it. It is rare that a collection of poems is given this degree of attention. Thank you. #Eliots #poetry @carcanet.bsky.social youtu.be/kn5DYwHosKM?...

I'm once again asking for a show where a librarian, a bookseller, and a carpenter travel around helping people manage their out-of-control book collections. Discuss their sentimental value, their rarity, their histories, then build amazing book nooks and shelves and little libraries to organize them

The Clergy Malt Club website has had a refresh just in time... #CofEpeeps

Great to be with fr Kieron in Glastonbury this morning!

Incredible news. Layan Nasir has been freed. Eight months of painful detention is over and the family can live again. Thanks be to God!

Salisbury cathedral, Evensong with my colleagues from the Diocese of Bristol. A precious time to reflect, plan and just hang out.

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

When I drew #stnicholaschurch #leicester I had to crouch in the bushes to get this view 😆The church was open so I went in and was warmly welcomed into the happiest, most inclusive place 🌈💜 Met some wonderful people and it's held a special place in my heart ever since 🙏
