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

After over a year at Rochester Cathedral we say goodbye to the magnificent Fenland Black Oak Table. It’s off to Lincoln Cathedral so do go and visit if you’re local.

A prayer for St George's Day. 🙏

Inspired by illuminations in Textus Roffensis, the dragon has been created by celebrated artist Wendy Daws. The 15m long dragon will be suspended in our Nave.

Today is Earth Day. We couldn't miss sharing a throwback photo from when we had Gaia at Rochester Cathedral. Did you come along to see it?

Wonderful to talk about shepherds today at #StMaryLamberhurst at the invitation of Andrew Axon This window explains why angels always say ‘do not be afraid’. That face is terrifying.

We're saying goodbye to the incredible Fenland Black Oak Table today. After over a year it's off to another lucky location. Here's just a handful of the amazing events which have taken place around and on the Table over the past year.

Did you come to any of them?

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

Great partnership work that will help local community members from Gillingham gain digital skills.
Please share this opportunity with others. @SeeOfRochester

The Growing Good Toolkit course provides valuable insights and tips for community ministry. Would be keen to help introduce the course in more churches from @SeeOfRochester. Please get in touch if you would like to discuss further.

Sunday 21st April is Vocations Sunday and so if you are preaching or leading intercessions don't forget to encourage every Baptised member of the congregation to seek or affirm their calling @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.

It's your last chance to see the Fenland Black Oak Table in the Nave this weekend (13th - 15th April). It leaves us on the 21st April but will be in the Aisle for the final few days. Don't miss this opportunity to see this incredible table.
