👑🚶This afternoon saw Walsall's #Coronation Walk of Faith. The rain held off for what was an enjoyable walk, bringing people together to learn about Walsall's diverse communities and the different places of worship that are part of the borough 🤝 #WalsallCelebrates

That moment when you’re leading a special diocesan service of Evening Prayer & you realise the 2nd reading is about a rich man dressed in purple who dies & goes to Hades & there are FOUR bishops in the congregation! @churchofengland @Lichfield_CofE #awkward #farewellbishopclive

Just caught up with @Baddiel’s program #jewsdontcount. Really interesting and a thought provoking focus on a different aspect of racism than is normally not considered. We’ll worth a watch.

Lord we pray for the people of #Qatar We #pray that as the world's focus comes onto that nation that there would be an end to oppressive laws, a loosening of religious controls and opportunities for an indigenous church to thrive #QatarWorldCup2022 webuat.opendoorsuk.org/perse…

Sometimes the speed at which managers arrive and then get fired from Watford football club is highly embarrassing. Imagine being a member of the Conservative party. #empathy

That moment when you realise the inflatable unicorn you bought for the holiday is so ridiculously large it fills up about 1/8 of the pool.

It's a good moment to remind people of the 7 Nolan principles of standards in public life (how politicians, civil servants, charity trustees etc are bound to act in public roles) 1 Selflessness. 2 Integrity. 3 Objectivity. 4 Accountability. 5 Openness. 6 Honesty. 7 Leadership

That moment when you bump into a man coming out of the gents and he jumps and says, “You scared the hell out of me.” He then looks up sees the dog collar and realises you’re just about to officiate at the funeral he’s attending.

Forgiveness lies at the heart of the Christian faith. It can heal broken families, it can restore friendships and it can reconcile divided communities. It is in forgiveness that we feel the power of God’s love. Her Majesty the Queen Elizabeth II, Christmas Broadcast 2011
