Rejoice and be glad! I can post here and in “the other place”! Merry Easter to you all!
I’ve been at a church meeting where we were talking about vocation and the point of priesthood, and there was a lot that was encouraging, but I came away thinking that the C of E is often an anxious organisation that is fixated on “success”. But what we’re actually called to is faithfulness.

Heading to Edinburgh for @eccleshistsoc.bsky.social conference. Any OOMFs going, drop me a DM!
It's finally here! Day 1 of our Summer Conference begins today in #Edinburgh- we can't wait to see you there! Make sure to post your conference pics and use the hashtag #EHSCon25 🎉
