Up in Manchester for my 2nd conference photography gig of the month and I have to say I am loving the little nod to our conference that the college's library has prepared.

Final preparations before my beautiful incredible wife ( @hedgehiggin.bsky.social ) finally gets ordained and inducted as minister of her first church.

When we met 5 years (and 12 days) ago she turned up for her first day of ministerial training as I started my undergrad degree. 1/3

Praying for Bishop Sarah as she prepares to preside over the See of Canterbury. I had the pleasure of spending a day with her when I was at sixth form, and what sticks with me is her wisdom and grace, two attributes that are desperately needed as the church moves on from recent scandals and debates.

Come and hang out with a friendly group of keen amateur theologians made up of trans people and allies for some trans-centred theological discussion and casual fellowship.

SCM’s Trans Theology Group is an enthusiastic group of trans students and recent graduates together with trans allies. 1/2

Back from the Bonhoeffer Pilgrimage - exhausted but exceptionally grateful.

I'll write up my reflections on my time in Germany properly in due course but for now I'll share a reflection I shared earlier in the week:

Well, when I voted for the current Labour leadership in 2020 I didn't expect to quitting the party under it, certainly not after a landslide election win that I had worked so hard on, but I won't compromise on trans rights and it breaks my heart that it's a Labour government that has. 1/2

Can't wait to welcome @jayhulmepoet.bsky.social to Bath later this month! If you're around and fancy joining a workshop (or potentially seeing me perform in the evening) then please book ASAP as places are limited!

This Tuesday I am leading @scmbritain.bsky.social 's Trans Theology Group in a discussion on how the life and ministry of St James the Great can lead us to find hope in imperfection.

The group is for those students who identify as trans, non-binary or intersex or are Trans allies.

Merry Christmas!

To all my queer friends out there who may be spending time with family who are not affirming, I pray you know the Father's love, are comforted by the Son, and protected from harm by the Holy Spirit. You are awesome in all of your queer and wonderful ways and God delights in you. 🌈

New personal record alert! I managed to visit 2 cathedral's and an abbey in the space of 4 days.

(Gloucester Cathedral, Bath Abbey and Llandaff Cathedral for anyone interested)

And yes, by request of my Grandma, I now have a note on my phone where I am ranking the cathedrals and abbey...

It was a huge privilege to be able to share some of my work with the folks at Oxford Di-Verse Poetry Festival this weekend.
