This evening, I was honoured to be inducted into the Brown Scapular of Our Lady of Mount Carmel in the chapel at the Teresianum. The statue on the altar is of Our Lady presenting St Simon Stock with the first scapular.

I am speaking at this conference on my experiences as an Autistic clergy person, and greater inclusion of neurodivergent people in our parishes, schools and society in general. An international audience of academics, medics, educationalists and clergy. Totally out of my comfort zone.

Rather proud of my country and Prime Minister right now. 🇬🇧🇺🇦

I am sure King Charles will be similarly welcoming. I hope Zelensky gets a knighthood at some point.

And the Tangerine Toddler does not.

And cancel the State Visit - we do not like bullies or people who disrespect our friends.

Paul McCartney -the word ‘legend’ is overused, but this man is a legend. A brilliant gig. Every song - genius.
