Thank you very much. You must have caught me on one of my better days!
An interesting read on the art of preaching. Made me think that perhaps reading sermons by others can be quite helpful. I like @flemingrut @gerrylynch @DeHartBenjaminR and heard a great one by @RevThomasSander this year. telegraph.co.uk/gift/aa9232d…

"The Church has increased its administrative staff by nearly 80 per cent in 20 years while the number of parish priests has almost halved" says @emmasthomson "Where is the logic in running a charity which increases its administrative costs relentlessly while the donor base is shrinking?"

Whole country full of people making sacrifices like this - but the leadership want to give away £100m in slavery "reparations" so they can grandstand - very poor.

‘People want their lives to be changed. They don’t want a lightweight cultural Christianity with a lot of politics linked to it. They’re looking for the real thing. And if I have any impact on that for the rest of my days, I shall be pleased.’ @churchofengland

Evensong at St Giles in the Fields: This Thursday at 6.30pm Every Sunday at 6.30pm 2 minute walk from Tottenham Court Road tube. A warm welcome awaits!
For me, Choral Evensong is one of the crowning inventions of the Anglican Church, and one of the best free musical experiences to be had in this country. JR telegraph.co.uk/radio/what-t…
