I’m vicar of a large (HUGE) parish with not quite enough ministers and financial stress to sort. Sometimes we get a bit tired.
And then sometimes we celebrate the patronal festival of one of the churches with a new hymn entirely composed in house and then we cheer on the lovely faithful member

Sounds like a great speech from Tim Farron, and I’m very glad someone is speaking for those who don’t just love this country, they actually like it.

Finally deactivated X on the basis that A. I’m not sure I like who I am when I use it and B. I probably have better things to do with my time than argue with people.

I wish more people would realize that struggling with poverty and homelessness is not a moral failure.

It never fails to fascinate me that the denizens of twitter can read so damned much into what I haven’t actually said…
I have loved twitter, but at the moment it feels like the gymternet is the only reason to stay. Is there a Bluesky equivalent?

It has been a horrid week, so escaping here has been a bit of a rescue for my mental health. In the spirit of that, I give you my gorgeous oldest offspring. Who has had an absolutely awful couple of years in and out of education, before finding a school that really gets him.

I’m in hospital at the moment and just walked into the chapel to hear someone on the piano playing “oh love that wilt not let me go”…
And now I am in puddles in the chapel (I love this hymn so much) but feeling very held.
