Scrooge came from #Gloucester! It’s true and a fantastic Christmas story, enjoy this gem about the tight banker who Charles Dickens based Scrooge on. ⁦@HistoryPress⁩ ⁦@GloucesterBID⁩ ⁦@VisitGloucester⁩ ⁦@CotsTourismBiz⁩ ⁦@cotswoldlife⁩ 🎄🧑‍🎄🤶🎄🎄

Grateful for the prophetic witness to God's inclusive love of my predecessor as Rector 50 years ago. Glad to offer this now. #faith #hope #love @GlosDioc
Such lovely news for 2025 🌈 For all those of faith there will be these new monthly services at St. Mary de Crypt. This beautiful space offered an early safe home to the Gloucestershire Gay and Lesbian Community fifty years ago, and has been steadfast ever since. 🌈

A privilege to welcome so many to this sacred space & lead such an important & poignant service. Our prayers continue. @GlosDioc #TDR
Thank you to St. Mary de Crypt, Trans in Gloucestershire, Pride in Gloucestershire, and all those from across The Shire who came to remember the dead. None of this should ever have happened in the UK. But it did. #WeRemember @discoverdecrypt @prideinglos @fflagcheltenham

Another fabulous picture that captures the joy of Gloucester Day. I am so proud of all our young people who contributed to the Gloucester Day Service. It was so important to hear their hopes for the future of our city. Now we need to act on what they said! @GlosDioc @sebfield82

Today I was invited to pray for the newly designated Heritage Harbour here at Gloucester Docks. We remembered before God all who have worked here over the centuries & all who visit or work in the Docks today. Canon fire rang out across the water in celebration. #GloucesterDay
