Fantastic day with fantastic colleagues @carlislediocese joining with other leaders from across the Church of England to think about ministry with and among children, young people, and families!

Great to speak with the legendary Joe Wilson on BBC Radio Cumbria this morning about our festival of pilgrimage on 19th September (interview is at 1 hr 39 mins). There’s still time to sign up, so why not join us @carlislediocese

It was a delight this last week to license the Rev’d Anton Müller to Solway Plain. Prayers for Anton and the churches as they begin their work helping people to know and follow Jesus together. Looking forward to two more licensing services this coming week @carlislediocese

Kali Panagia! On Rhodes during the feast of the Dormition of Mary today. It’s not observed in the CofE. We heard joyful priests intone the Eucharist at Lindos this morning! Mary’s title Theotokos tells us about Jesus - a single identity with two natures, fully God and fully human

I really enjoyed being with PCC members from Wigton and Thursby yesterday @carlislediocese, as we considered how to encourage those who are curious about Christ to find their place at God’s table. Can you spot the elephant in the room?! Great people and a great venue @rydalhall

Lovely potter about at Shap Abbey @carlislediocese this evening. For over three hundred years, until 1540, the Norbertine monks lived daily the Rule of St Augustine - a rhythm of prayer and work woven together with intentional community service #SpiritualRoots #SpiritualLegacy

Amazing day yesterday @York_Minster - delighted to be joining the fabulous team @CarlisleDiocese as we live out the gospel together in Cumbria. I shall miss the @EmmanuelTheoCol community, but look forward with joy to the future God has for them too

A new Bishop of Penrith!
(For the episcopal PhD monitors, the PhD is on "human responsibility in Karl Barth's moral theology")

Our college residential has been a time to pause, pray, and grow together.
Special thanks to The Rt Revd Lusa Nsenga-Ngoy, Bishop of Bishop of Willesden for leading our reflections during the Quiet Day and to Ross Hendry, Director of CARE for delivering the Lecture on Sunday.

Hear one of our students share how their time at Emmanuel has shaped them, not just in theology, but in faith, character, and calling.
The start of the new academic year is nearly here. It’s not too late to explore what’s possible.
Formation begins with a ‘yes.’

"‘Just do it – you won’t regret it!’
Hear from one of our amazing graduates as they share how the course shaped their faith, calling, and confidence in ministry.
Whether you're discerning a new direction or looking to go deeper in your discipleship, this could be your next step.

Exciting news for Leah and for Sheffield diocese today. Leah has been a fantastic placement supervisor for students being formed for Ministry @EmmanuelTheoCol and we’ll miss her wise and patient investment in future leaders #ChristCentred #HopeFilled #MissionOrientated
The King has approved the appointment of Rev Leah Vasey-Saunders, Vicar of Lancaster Priory, as next Bishop of Doncaster
We wish her all the best as she prepares for this next chapter. Watch her heartfelt message to our Diocese.

Dismayed to see you sharing such a misleading & potentially deeply frightening video, Kim.
If someone is in 'unspeakable pain' at the end of life, they should see a palliative care doctor like me - & I can promise you there is always something I can do for your pain. (1/n)
Great to hear from @PrueLeith who knows all too well how the current status quo restricting choice at the end of life fails so many.

An honour to have my IQ questioned by you Mr VP. But your attempts to speak for Christ are false and dangerous. Nowhere does Jesus suggest that love is to be prioritized in concentric circles. His love is universal. 🧵
I’ve said before and I’ll say it again: the problem with Rory and people like him is that he has an IQ of 110 and thinks he has an IQ of 130. This false arrogance drives so much elite failure over the last 40 years.
