I couldn't be more blessed with my choice of Priest to "preach me in" elegantly crafted & utterly charmed my congregation- he's been one of my biggest cheer leaders throughout this last few years - I've been very lucky with you as a mentor, mate and all round classy gent ❤️🎊
Congratulations and thanks to @Punkdimmitis who presided with a gloriously confident humility this morning, in front of God, me, and the 7 retired clergy in the congregation, who've settled among the squirrels and sand dunes. Some fertile conversations afterwards about my sermon.

I’ve purchased some sweets for the trick-or-treaters. I do hope they appreciate crystallised violets.
It was lovely to cover a service for our neighbours in St Giles Aintree today
Really struck by thier front page of the parish magazine -
Life is fragile, handle with prayer
Today I Love You by Massimo Uberti
(Presuming the second half is "tomorrow I will be sick of the sight of you" 🤣)

Another episode of 'how the other half lives' from a wander round Piccadilly recently. I'd love to meet a man who could carry off that magnificent tasselled night cap.

In my long list of DailyPrayer app updates, I'd like it to grap your GPS location and automatically add this collect if there's an Amber alert for rain in your area.
1/2 Our service of Evensong tonight concluded with one of my favourite Hymns of all time, 'How great thou art', invoking fond memories of singing this on Lindersfarne on retreat

I had a conversation with someone this week, we concluded that Priests and goths have commonality (wear black, are in graveyards alot) concluded that Priests are goths but with hope. I rather enjoy that
Reconciliation, Josefina de Vasconcellos (1955)
I was almost moved to tears by this sculpture at Coventry Cathedral. Its embrace captures something so profound about love, relief and healing, and speaks so poignantly to the work of reconciliation still left to do in our world.
Christ in Majesty window, Holy Trinity, Coventry
Designed by Hugh Easton and dedicated in 1955, this window replaced Victorian glass blown out in 1940. Christ in Majesty sits upon a rainbow, his feet resting on the world, above historical figures from the story of the Church.

Only in London! 😂
Hundreds of people gathered at London Fields on Saturday evening to watch two men dressed as medieval knights jousting on e-bikes.
The event was organised by east London artists Jack Carden and Camtholomew the First, who reportedly advertised it as a joke before it unexpectedly took off.

Pumpkin-spiced latte? I have always maintained that gourds belong in the vegetable patch, not in one’s beverages.
Tonight at St Peter’s, we began our autumn talks series on the Bible and the sacraments, exploring the basics of the Bible and the three key foundations of Anglicanism: Scripture, tradition and reason.
