For any who feel moved, and are able, to give.

I am devastated for my lovely niece Kat and her 7yo Eva on the death of husband Paul. He was witty, kind, wry, undefended, Yorkshire to the core - apart from the whimsical Spurs thing he had going. If you're a praying person, please pray for them.

Excited that Julia is presenting dementia training and introducing Anna Chaplaincy online next week to hundreds of Texans and a wider international audience. But secretly hoping the tech goes wrong so I can jump in and say 'Houston, we have a problem'.

Stimulating, unsettling #letsendpoverty webinar yesterday with Hannah Fremont-Brown and Paul Morrison. What is happening now with poverty is not normal. The late Frank Field was an indefatigable anti-poverty campaigner; now's the moment to pick up that baton @SeeOfRochester

Our 'Let's End Poverty' webinar is on Tuesday 23 April at 5pm. Book here: tickets.myiknowchurch.co.uk/gb/MzAxLTY5Mg/t
Of 29 already signed in, it's notable (and significant?) that 27 appear to be women. Join up here, men - and more women too! Poverty is horrible and isolating. But we can tackle it.

Ten years of friendship, support, advice, and - most significantly - bacon baps and chocolate cake, the St Mary Greenhithe community café is brimming with vitality. We talked about building back better after Covid. This is what it looks like @SeeOfRochester

Half a generation since 97 Liverpool fans had their lives cut traumatically short. Our cheap shots at today's health and safety culture are countered by the story of the late 1980s: Zeebrugge, Kings Cross, Piper Alpha, Hillsborough. Every soul is unique and precious to God.

At Medway Maritime Hospital with Ruth Bierbaum and the chaplaincy team, offering prayer and anointing on the wards for staff in their everyday faith if they want it, and giving thanks for healthcare workers. Happy to come to any other workplace if invited! @SeeOfRochester

For friends and colleagues leading churches this Easter weekend: wherever you are on a scale of smashing it, to faxing it in, to crying on the inside or outside - God will do his thing just by your turning up. As he always does. As you always do. @SeeOfRochester

The number of children living in absolute poverty in the UK has jumped by 300,000 in a single year. Book on to our Let's End Poverty webinar on April 23 at 5pm to figure out how to address this trauma together @SeeOfRochester

Great to see Rochester Cathedral organist and our Anna Chaplain lead @SeeOfRochester featuring prominently in this article Simon Burton-Jones Bible Reading Fellowship

Stunning talk by Chris Lubbe at the Aletheia MAT training day. Personal bodyguard to Nelson Mandela and friend of Steve Biko, on the power of forgiveness. Glad I could talk earlier about growing a generous civic patriotism in place of divisive ethnic nationalism @SeeOfRochester

Respect to women leaders who got to the last but one storey by climbing the stairs while men took the lift. Then ran up the down escalator to make the last floor, like a TV Gladiator. It should not have been like this. Pray one day it truly won't #IWD2024 @SeeOfRochester

Happy Independence Day, Estonia! And, most especially, many - let's say, endless - happy returns. @SeeOfRochester

I appreciate this is a really bad moment to champion cricket's Bazball, but encouraging clergy and lay ministers to be bold and express their gifts, to take risks and not be afraid of failing because they'll be backed in doing so is the creative space we need to inhabit today.

They took your life, they could not take your pride. The mind-bending courage of those who speak truth to the absolute power that corrupts absolutely #Navalny

Could you help a survivor of modern slavery for a limited time? Attending this webinar wouldn't in any way commit you to doing that - but would tell all you need to know about how to.

Giving thanks for friends and colleagues who have enriched their communities through faith and action and helped me, patiently and kindly, to begin to see the world through eyes other than my own #RacialJusticeSunday @SeeOfRochester

20 years have passed since the Morecambe Bay tragedy, yet modern slavery continues to mutate and grow, avoiding detection by cunning deceit. These Chinese were known to God, as are thousands of others today, who also have souls, families and - pray -a future @SeeOfRochester
