There's something about this, where the CofE put seemingly capable, usually young, of a minority group, people on a pedestal, and unfortunately here, meant they were blinded to the truth.

A real pleasure to spend the last few days with Darius being ordained priest.
A different calling, a different ministry but one none the less.

I found this gem from 1908

I’m not usually in favour of AI, but is there any way it could be used to automate General Synod so humans aren’t subjected to the cruelty of having to take part?

Another great debate on hearing the voices of young adults.
We need the age of General Synod to reduce, we need more younger and diverse voices, we need to encourage those we know.

The option to vote for model 4 now removed by an amendment, basically saying we'll go with 3 for now, and work towards 4.
Disappointing, it feels like kicking it into the long grass, which we couldn't really afford to do. #synod

The need for consistancy.
It's a conscience vote for me today, however hard, expensive, time consuming and messy. #synod

Disappointed in that vote on #synod. I voted for model 4 and I think Synod will come to regret instead endorsing model 3 (a lesser form of independent safeguarding) in the short term, even if they say they’ll aim for model 4 later.
