A joy to share in worship and preach at Collin’s Street Baptist Church this morning. I am reflecting on the witness of Dietrich #Bonhoeffer whose 80th anniversary of death falls this year. #witness #courage #antifascism

Today I anointed our 12 candidates for baptism and confirmation on Easter morning as part of their catechesis. We prayed for the gift of God’s Holy and Lifegiving Spirit in their lives and for their journeys of discipleship. #baptism #cathedral #disciplesofjesus

The Deanery #dachshund at prayer at our young adults’ service Gather. At the end of the service Canon Peter invited everyone to find out more about faith to those in dog collars. Tessa has a collar and for her the good news of love is conveyed in pats, walks and treats.

It’s been great being part of @katherinefirth.bsky.social’s running journey and to co-write with her. And yes, copy editing is a kind of recovery run.
A tip I learned from learning to run is 'active recovery'. In fact, there is a whole thing in running called a 'recovery run'! This horrified me when I first found out about it.
But it made me think about what active recovery strategies we might use to help us in our writing.

Active Recovery: a tip I learned from learning to run
A tip I learned from learning to run is 'active recovery'. In fact, there is a whole thing in running called a ... 'recovery run'! This horrified me when I first found out about it. Any run felt like a huge effort, surely any kind of running was the opposite of recovering from running! And it's true, you should be sleeping, and resting, and taking days off from running, to recover from running. But it's also a good idea to sometimes run, slowly, easily, not for too long, to help you recover from running. And this made me think about what active recovery strategies we might use to help us in our writing.
