So sad to see the #Droitwich #Raven going up in flames - a once beautiful but long neglected part of local history. Firefighters and police doing a great job.

Exciting news!

Watch a video message from Bishop Hugh:
It was an honour and a privilege to be part of the CNC which nominated Bishop Hugh. I am really looking forward to working alongside him as we serve our wonderful @cofeworcester.bsky.social
Uplifting opening service for the Three Choirs Festival at Hereford Cathedral. Good to be there with @cofeworcester.bsky.social colleagues
Fabulous @cofeworcester.bsky.social #synod reps heading to worship in the Minster via breakfast together. Team time is always a good thing.
On my way to #synod a day late as this happened yesterday! Couldn't miss my MPA graduation after all that hard work!
Such brilliant news. Congratulations +Joanne!
Please pray for us on Thursday and Friday as we discern who God is calling to be the next Bishop of Worcester.

In the wonderful community church where I led worship this morning, instead of having a flower rota, everyone who can brings a flower from their garden and adds to a vase on the altar before the service. Such a simple idea, yet deeply unifying and symbolic. Glorious! @cofeworcester.bsky.social
Great joy as we installed Diane, one of our fabulous @cofeworcester.bsky.social Area Deans, as Team Rector and renewal leader in Sedgley today.

Shakespeare Marathon completed in just over five hours. It was very warm! Beautiful course through picturesque villages. #running #Marathon ##ultratraining
Belbroughton church in @cofeworcester.bsky.social putting on a wonderful display for Easter both inside and out this morning. #Easter #ChristIsRisen
Early in the morning, on the first day of the week β¦.. how fitting that the first peregrine chick hatched at Worcester Cathedral today. New life at Easter!
Alleluia! Christ is risen!
Happy Easter.
Fabulous visit to Tulley's Tulip Garden near Warwick this afternoon. Highly recommend!
Good to celebrate ##PalmSunday in St Kenelm's, a @cofeworcester.bsky.social gem set amidst the Clent Hills.
Plants rather than posies for #MotheringSunday at @cofeworcester.bsky.social St Mark's Pensnett this morning, and a joyful Mothers' Union choir. Lovely.
Scenic run through the Forest of Dean on the brilliantly organised #fodhalfmarathon. Hilly half and garmin tells me my training status is 'recovery'. Must be marathon/ultra training! #running #ultratraining

Apologies, I meant to share the link, but seem to have only shared the picture!
An inspiring watch! For runners, and for anyone who believes that the words βA woman could never do thisβ need to be challenged!
Such brilliant news! Congratulations @malchamb.bsky.social

Enjoyed the diversity of rural parish churches in @cofeworcester.bsky.social this morning. From the bizarre baroque splendour of Great Witley to the stark simplicity of Pensax, only accessible up a steep grassy path. Faithful people in both. #ruralministry
Great to meet in Top Church Dudley with new MPs @alexballingermp.bsky.social, Sonia Kumar and @bishopofdudley.bsky.social and local @cofeworcester.bsky.social clergy
#spring
A joyful service as Amanda Arthur is licensed and installed in the Bromsgrove Team. With @bishopofdudley.bsky.social in @cofeworcester.bsky.social
The current debate at #synod on amendments to the CNC process is hugely significant for us in @cofeworcester.bsky.social as our discernment process for the next Bishop of Worcester is underway. Praying for courage and wisdom as some small but helpful changes are put before us.
