There is so much to celebrate about the life of Pope Francis, and therefore also a deep sense of loss at his passing.
He truly set an example of faithfulness to Christ. And how amazing that he has died in the context of Easter with its message of hope for salvation and new life. (1/3)

250% uplift in communicant numbers today compared to a ‘normal’ Sunday at St Anne’s Dunbar! Plus a baptism and the blessing of a civil partnership.
I think we can say ‘He is risen!’.
Oh, and a liturgical lace change, just in time for the festivities! ⚓️

Lest we forget how far the world has still to go, I just received a delivery (at home, in Scotland) from a driver who saw my dog collar and exclaimed (in broad Glaswegian)… “A wumman minister?! That the modern world, eh?!”
Reader, the Kirk has been ordaining women since 1968! 🤦♀️

Farewell session with the youth at Harbour Lights Xtra this afternoon. These Friday sessions have been some of the most fun times in my ministry in Dunbar. As you can see, sometimes you can have your cake AND eat it.
But I lost my pool shark crown - you can tell by T’s smile!! ⚓️ #anglican

1. One of capitalism’s greatest successes is to shut down our imaginations. With the help of its favoured tools - neoliberalism and fascism - it persuades us that “there is no alternative”. Our first task is to re-ignite our moral imaginations and name our alternatives. 🧵

Ok, #ministry peeps. What’re your top tips for good endings & beginnings in ministry transitions? I’m in 🏴, coming to the end of my first incumbency (semi-rural, fairly liberal low church #Episcopalian), taking up 2 urban charges - 1 traditional, 1 contemporary, low church plant. #anglican ⚓️📚
