Today I sat through some excellent speeches in the House of Lords. The clear message was that the ‘Assisted Dying’ Bill needs much more scrutiny. The expertise in the House is immense. Deep concerns were raised by doctors, nurses, lawyers, and those of us experienced in pastoral care of the dying.

The latest summer heatwave of 2025 has not slowed down the process of licensing new priests across Norfolk and Waveney!
Of late, these have included Bishops Graham and Ian welcoming clergy in Hemsby and Lound, Thorpe End and Stalham and Smallburgh.

The rain held off for the annual outdoor service at St Benet’s Abbey on Sunday 27 July.
The only monastery in England not closed by Henry VIII but given to the Bishop of Norwich.
Each summer, as Abbot of the Abbey, the Bishop holds a service of prayer and worship.
