I saw no Christian grace in the dreadful BBC interview with Susie Leafe. #ArchbishopOfCanterbury

Many congratulations to +Sarah. She was our wonderful suffragan Bishop for a while. Brilliant appointment

The builders are all disappearing for a week's holiday next week. At least we'll get some space. They've left the old downstairs loo in our front garden. Lovely... #Quinquennial #VicarageLife... 🤣

Strange how some people don't realise a vicar works on a Sunday! Duh!

@theguardian.com - If you're going to talk about Waterloo to Exeter line and South Western Railway how about using a picture of that line and the correct railway company. The photo is near Dawlish - on a different trainline and of a CrossCountry train! Sloppy! 😂

Rail services in parts of England are cut as tracks are disturbed by lack of moisture
South Western Railway says some trains cannot travel at full speed after sunniest spring in more than 100 years

Being called to the Father’s House is such a poignant touching description.

Many #clergy crash after Easter. Be kind to yourselves.

On the Jeremy Vine show today people saying how many want to be given mental health labels. An unethical therapist tried to do that to me once. Thankfully I I got away from her and found someone else to help me heal. Rather not be inappropriately pigeonholed. 😀

For anyone who's lost a sibling in mid-life Jeremy Vine has been talking about it on R2 since 1pm...

What's the seven year equivalent of a quinquennial?

Shame the debate on diocesan finances was moved to the end of #synod rather than debated this morning as timetabled.

No point spending hrs debating CNCs if dioceses start going bankrupt.

++Stephen talks about the five guiding principles. My opinion is they work for men with certain opinions but they're really about legalising discrimination against women. How like the C of E to legislate to include bigotry... #synod.

+Sarah defends women in the church. Well done and thank you for your heart-felt and emotionally real defence. #synod.

Brilliant opening speech by Alex Frost on Working Class ministry #synod...

Wonderful to catch sight of people I know at #Synod! So many memories 😀

Always good to hear and see +Sarah. She was an excellent local suffragan before moving on to higher things... #synod

I do hope the C of E continue to fund retirement housing for #clergy. It would be a major blow to many otherwise... #synod

Interesting q re gluten free wafers. Haven't taken communion since going gluten free. Does this merit a debate at synod - surely gf should be offered automatically #synod. I hardly think God will mind!

I long stopped going to church. With OH on his fourth #clergy post I got tired of the grief. Ironically we're in a really supportive set of parishes now but it got too much over the years. If a clergy spouse stops going, it's not surprising others have dropped out too... #synod
February 10, 2025 at 4:39 PM
With the increase in part-time #clergy posts there'll be an inevitable discrimination against those without any other family income like pensions, another earner in the family, capital etc... #synod
February 10, 2025 at 4:30 PM
Lovely to see my husband's second training incumbent - the charming and wonderful Douglas Dettmer - at #synod. I've also caught sight of the first which wasn't so pleasant... 🤣
February 10, 2025 at 4:13 PM
Wondering how much stomach I've got for the #synod live-stream this week. It's like a food you know is bad for you but you keep going back... 🤣
February 10, 2025 at 3:51 PM
dio-ceases or dio-sieze... ?? #synod...
February 10, 2025 at 3:43 PM
I've yet to meet a male bishop who's demonstrated any degree of humility when I've seen them...🤣 #synod...
