Cliveden House burnt down in 1849. The architect behind Parliament rebuilt it in two years.
Now, Parliament has spent over a decade just planning its own repairs.
What happened to the country that built things? 👇

“The Sacraments were not ordained of Christ to be gazed upon, or to be carried about, but that we should duly use them.” - The Book of Common Prayer.

The Church of England also has prayers for Independence Day— that God would give grace to ‘our unhappy fellow-subjects in America’ that they might see the error of their ways and recognise their ingratitude for the many blessings of God’s Providence

A really important point contained in @Theosthinktank Cathedrals report (or as I used to put it, ‘do what we’re supposed to do excellently’)

I want to thank @Eluned_Morgan for the over 30 years of service she has already given to our country and our party.
Eluned has been a formidable First Minister and tireless champion for Wales.
She broke barriers and has never stopped fighting for families in the communities she loves.
Together we have worked to lift children out of poverty, cut hospital waiting lists, and create thousands of new jobs.
I have no doubt her contribution to Wales will endure.

Today we mark the centenary of the birth of our Late Sovereign Lady, Queen Elizabeth II. Her Majesty is remembered fondly by the people of St Davids, for her four visits to the city, including the distribution of Maundy money in 1982 and the granting of city status in 1995.

If you want to see the best and worst of the Commons, watch Catherine West's snippy response to Geoffrey Cox. Disoriented by a rare display of brilliance in the Commons, she can only call him patronising (inevitably, before reading off a sheet) and her colleagues can only jeer

I think, for the foreseeable future, I am going to pray this prayer- one of the Prayer Book’s finest- every morning and evening.

The second chapter of Acts records that on the day of Pentecost, as the apostles spoke, each person heard the word of God “in his own language” (Acts 2:6 RSV). Now, for the first time, all through the land, those who spoke English would hear the word of God in their own language.
