Baptism and confirmations on Whitsunday 2024 at St Lawrence.
Amazing solemn Te Deum at the end by the choir, too. It's great to see everything come together after so much hard work by different people.

Excellent. This building in the middle of York, opposite the Minster, has been vacant for four years - a bookshop wants to move into it, and the council blocks it.
Apparently, it "would represent serious harm to the character of the building."

Gut wrenching to see four young people jailed for direct action against an arms supplier to Israel.
Years in prison for protesting to save lives in Gaza, with 'terrorism' used despite no jury convicting them of it.
A truly dangerous attack on the right to protest.

would be good if a journalist could interview him about this, and ask if taking a sledgehammer to a policewoman's back is a valid form of protest or 'direct action'.
Get him on TV and make him justify this

St John the Baptist in Knaresborough has a section dedicated to the Slingsby family, featuring a memorial to Henry Slingsby, 1st Baronet, who was executed following the Civil War for conspiring to revolt against the parliamentarians and bring back Charles II.

imagine getting knocked out the tournament and someone sends this to you
A prayer for the World Cup 2026. ⚽
ALT A prayer for the World Cup God of glory, as the world gathers to celebrate the beautiful game, we pray for a harmonious and joyous World Cup. Bring safety and security for players and officials on the pitch, fans in the stands, and spectators at home. May we see and celebrate the hand of God in the creativity of every curving free kick, silky pass or impossible save. May we have compassion and perspective on the miskicks, missed penalties, and muddled VARs. Every winning team needs a losing team – even if you were the better team. Let the journey to World Cup glory be not only for the nation that wins. May we see something more of the world you want us to be: a gathering of every nation and people who share your glory. Amen.

'dinner between James II & Pope Innocent XI had a 6-foot sugar centrepiece depicting the triumph of Catholicism over Protestantism.
James wanted Rome’s support against the Dutch. The Pope, believing there were more important things than war against Christians, did not show up.'

Wouldn’t it be remarkable if, little by little, the Holy Spirit was answering the prayer expressed in the Golden Sequence of Pentecost: “Bend the stubborn heart and will; / Melt the frozen, warm the chill; / Guide the steps that go astray”?
Forgive me, but it’s unbecoming for Christians to insist that churches they don’t belong to must never change and must remain the worst version of themselves – presumably in order to bolster their own positions

Despite all the clashing in the comments, remember its just troublemakers online. Ecumenism is in a good place.
The Roman Catholic Archbishop of Southwark preached at this event, RCs borrow Canterbury Cathedral once a year, there are joint Palm Sunday processions...
"It's a place about Christ, about God coming close to us."
Every May, the National Pilgrimage to The Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham is held. @FideliumLondon, a network of young anglo-catholic Christians in London explain why it is such a significant place.
