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.

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

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

Early in the morning, on the first day of the week ….. how fitting that the first peregrine chick hatched at Worcester Cathedral today. New life at Easter!

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

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

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.
