Fabulous weekend - with @archbishopofyork.org #FaithintheNorth teaching about #TheLordsPrayer Inspired by some really good questions from the ecumenical community that gathered. Here’s some snaps of the prayer station produced by congregation member RAP!

Today started with the joy of praying MP with a colleague (and Dibley- pictured!). It’s a blessing to work in a context with colleagues.

At the Priory this morning I walked up the central aisle toward this Pulpit Fall (made by the Sanctuary Guild) of the Risen Jesus with his wounds saying ‘Peace be with you’ and it felt fitting to pray for Pope Leo and my RC siblings in Lancaster.

So… running the Exsultet at home before heading to church early to run it there. This is one of the first things I ever got to sing liturgically (at 21!) and so it’s a particularly precious task to have!
