@BBCRadio3 Anna Lapwood is marvellous but I sometimes think that @BBCRadio3 is slightly obsessed with her. She seems to be mentioned or played on a daily basis!

It has to be said that CofE processes are just laughable when compared with the efficiency of the RC church and the election of the new pope. Lord Evans must have done something wrong to be holding this particular baby! x.com/ChurchTimes/status/192…

The names of the Communion representatives were announced on Tuesday morning, along with those selected from among the central members elected by the General Synod for a five-year term #nextarchbishopofcanterbury churchtimes.co.uk/articles/2…

Response to a general invitation I have just seen: "We won't be joining as we don't celebrate Christmas, but we wish you all a Happy Christmas 💖"

@CityWestminster to add to your list no doubt! Outside @SMBSLondon. Not sure what purpose it served anyway!

@CamdenCouncil @VeoliaUK @lincolnsinn Serle Street looking particularly grubby. And it's been like that for yonks, so there seems to be a group effort to ignore it!

My kind of concert: short and not impinging on dinner!
Early evening concert (not too long!). Make your own dinner arrangements but fizz will be served afterwards. Tickets available on the door or here: stmarysbournest.com/gala

Sorry, behind a pay wall but this bit in the obit of Ray Lewis is terrific! "In 1990, at the age of 27, he became a clerk in holy orders for the Church Commissioners". Presumably that might read: In 1990, at the age of 27, he was ordained?! thetimes.co.uk/article/a8889…

I hate doing shoe cleaning. Forced to do it weekly at school @StPaulsCathSch. There is even a photo of me doing so in the Radio Times in 1978... In connection with broadcast of "Paul's Children". Didn't have this gizmo to help then! @RadioTimes @StPaulsLondon

Well this is extremely good news for central London. Katherine’s been an excellent Area Dean here, and was incredible during the pandemic.
The Revd Katherine Hedderly, @KHedderly Vicar of All Hallows by the Tower, has today been announced as the next Archdeacon of Charing Cross. london.anglican.org/articles…

Parents bought their house in 1972 & have insured through @lv since then. Last year's premium £520. Renewal will be £839 (£905 when I mentioned that the joint policy holder had died, although your rep kindly offered to keep at £839). Still double loads of competitor quotes!
