A very happy 80th birthday to Rev Gill Butcher our Minor Canon, celebrating last night after Evensong. Gill will be taking a month’s sabbatical before hitting the actively retired button!

Happy Birthday to the marvellous Rev. Gill!! What a star and tower of wisdom and perseverance St Davids Cathedral

It’s been a peculiar pleasure to accompany Gill from discernment, through training, as an associate colleague and then now into retirement (she won’t know what that means…!) May God bless you richly in this new phase of your ministry!

Incredibly moving to hear +Rose BishopOfDover speaking about the importance of holding onto and rejoicing in our calling, and the One who calls us, as we grapple with a church where we are #NotEqualYet . 'I'm not going to shrink because you're not comfortable with who I am.'

People on benefits didn't crash the economy. The Tories did.

It’s not “sick note culture” that stops people from working. It’s a mental health crisis and the state of the NHS, which the Tories left to crumble.

Stop punishing disabled people for your own failures, Rishi Sunak.

Temperatures of 48.5C in Mali, over a year's worth of rain in 24 hours in Dubai, devastating droughts in the Amazon etc, but govts including Scotland's are reducing targets & action to address climate breakdown - our current system is not fit for purpose.

Christian Selvaratnam Christopher Landau Nope. This Is your moment to look long, hard & as critically as you can at your tradition, its culture(s) and the harmful habits/practices that have been able to take root within it. Each of us has to do that work within our own tradition. Your moment is now.

This is how thousands of Palestinians in Gaza are spending Eid today...

I’m shocked and deeply concerned by this news. Together with our Palestinian Christian brothers and sisters, I pray for Layan and her family - and for the congregation of St Peter’s Anglican Church in the Occupied West Bank. Please pray for Layan’s safety and swift release.

Matt and Beth Redman have released a film documenting what Mike Pilavachi did to them and the way the wider Christian culture colluded with him.

Deeply disturbed and shocked that a member of our church in Birzeit in Occupied West Bank has been arrested by Israeli forces. Layan Nasir is a 23 year old Palestinian Christian. Family don’t know where she is being held. Great concern and prayers for Layan and her family.

A month ago, whilst out walking my dogs on the beach, I picked some of this stuff up and put it in the bin - it looks like parsnips but it’s so poisonous for dogs! It’s called Hemlock or ‘Dead man’s fingers.’ There should be a pic of this with a warning as you access every beach
