Good to complete trio of inductions in Poole. Today licenced both Luke at All Saints & Lerys at St Clement’s as incumbents. Wonderful congregations with over 100 communicants at All Saints & 3 types of sherry on offer. There are some great posts in Dorset. It’s an amazing place to be.

Colleagues. Don’t sit at your desk all day. Enjoy the sunshine 😃
'God is God, no matter what.'
This new year, join Bishop Karen in her reflection at this important time within the Church's calendar.
Grateful to the local church for bringing light and love into 2024. May 2025 be a year when the peace and hope of Christ is experienced in new ways across the world. Happy New Year
Praying for the work of Parliament today & for all MPs as they debate & vote on the #AssistedDyingBill
Early start for breakfast gathering at Kingston Maurward.
So encouraging to commission 15 Lay Worship Leaders for the Milton and Blandford deanery in Charlton Marshall this evening.
Great morning at St Michael’s, Hamworthy, joining them for joy filled worship and rededicating the newly refurbished church. Pews replaced with what is apparently church chair of the year.
First meeting of our Discipleship, Vocation & ministry committee this morning with added pastries.Great conversations on vocation, calling & being the body of Christ. More about culture less about procedures, more about kingdom transformation, less about church. Thanks @jonathantriffitt.bsky.social
Encouraging day listening to some of our lead chaplains. A varied conversation around distinctiveness, authenticity, welcome, ethics, prophetic voice. Feathers on the breath of God was how one described it. So grateful for their ministry.
