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.

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.
Rewatching Downton Abbey, I'm being quietly reacquainted with my favourite TV character: The Dowerger Countess of Grantham and her style and unfiltered sass.

Your prayers would be much appreciated over the coming weeks, as I take some time on retreat to pray, encounter God, and reflect on the end of my curacy and the next chapter of my Priestly ministry.....
Thank you. 🙏 #curacy
On a week when I’ve felt as though my life has been an episode of The Vicar of Dibley, tonight’s Evensong offered a moment of beauty.
Our choir sang Howard Goodall’s The Lord Is My Shepherd exquisitely. A reminder of why we do this.

You may think you're cool, but you'll never be as cool as Lithuanian folk art St Francis doing stigmata kung fu (via limis.lt)
Delighted that our teenager's group will be leading a reflection they have written together as part of The Lord's Prayer tour with Archbishop of York at Liverpool Cathedral tomorrow - I pray that it will be an evening of being heard and being encouraged in their faith
A very kind 'thank you' bouquet from a funeral family, including special foliage from the deceased's rose garden. Very precious.

Remembering Dame Patricia Routledge who died a year ago today.
The definition of a national treasure.

Delighted to see that the @JohnLewisRetail partnership with @prayerbook_soc is back for another year.

Me: I need to get rid of at least half my books to free up space
Also me: I need this 1973 book from the Cheese Information Service
Pen museum, Birmingham
In its heyday the factory produced over 75% of the world's pen nibs, with 90% workforce being women
The museum has amazing Victoriana, original equipment and signage - a workshop to make on and acwell stocked shop which I indulged in writing delights
Jane is a phenomenally gifted priest and we really lucky to have her as our new Dean of Women's Ministry

Inherited a fair selection of theology books from a cleric. I found myself flicking through this Christmas book from the 1970s, and stumbled accross the most 1970s advent photo, ever.
Look at that hair!
It was such a lovely weekend welcoming my dear friend The Rev Claire Lewis to preach for us at our harvest service this weekend, visiting from St Mary's Monkseaton, Diocese of Newcastle
Yes, more cheerful content!
Something more cheerful, new @Telegraph - on Harvest Festival, and the C of E at its best (gift access in next post)... 1/2
