In Armed Forces Day, I’m joining Padre Chris in praying for peace and justice, and for those who serve in the Armed Forces #ArmedForcesDay

Cornwall & its churches were looking glorious today. Davidstow, St Stephen’s Launceston & Veryan all bright in May beauty. Inside the faithful gather to pray & worship and, in Veryan, to celebrate the beginning of their new Roseland benefice @diotruro.bsky.social #lovethelocalchurch
The new Cornwall Samaritans operations base in Truro is a wonderful space for them to continue their work of compassionate listening. It was a privilege to be there to cut the ribbon, declare it open & thank all the volunteers who make Samaritans happen @samaritans.bsky.social

Thank you @cornwallairamb for such an interesting visit to your HQ today. As the first Air Ambulance in the UK, they’re an iconic Cornish organisation and save hundreds of lives every year. A really impressive team who are rightly supported by people across Cornwall

Today at Truro Cathedral we remembered those we loved and lost during the pandemic. It was good to be together, to pray and to look back at the lockdowns and ask what we’ve learnt @trurocathedral.bsky.social @diotruro.bsky.social
