I'm saddened that we're still talking about 'the poor' and 'poor communities' as though 'they' are outside the church and outside of the Conference. Each time people are othered in this way, the church excludes its own people. #Methodistconf

Being awake for most of the night was not in my plans, but then the hotel fire alarm at 2.30am wasn't in anyone's plan! Thankfully it was a false alarm, but my adult offspring's seizures began instantly, continuing for 50 mins. Now in recovery phase. #epilepsy

Holy Trinity crafts as part of St Andrew's Pudsey's church weekend. A Trinity plant pot: the pot is a person, the wrapper is the love of God surrounding it, the face is like Jesus (lots of artistic license), the soil like the Spirit - from which fruit can grow!

When you tell DWP in a form that your adult child can't talk on the phone and they set up a phone appointment π€¦ Then you tell them in advance but they still call and don't know what to do when they can't talk on the phone π€¦π€¦ #AccessFail

This morning was a challenge! Some things not quite to plan 1) Forgot I was leading morning prayer until 7.50am, it starts at 8am. I started a couple of minutes late.
2) coffee machine didn't work properly.
3) road works in front of church I was to take funeral at, not parking.

4) car parked in the way at crem, blocking access to accessible parking.
5) wheelchair hoist stopped working when arrived at crem
6) wheelchair rolled out of boot and badly bruised my leg (still stings) just before service.
Funeral went well despite it all. #ThankYouGod!

And we have 100 signatures. The level of response shows how important the role of Minister of State for Disabled People is and how the role needs to be reintroduced immediately.
Thank also to @lydimoo, @Just_a_Mo, and @corvidgrave and everyone who shared. Keep up the good work.

There's a reason why, as a wheelchair user, I set off a couple of hours early to take a funeral. The @YorkshireBuses_ no. 9 service didn't stop for me in Pudsey. Now I have to wait half an hour in this hideous weather to see if another bus stops.

Another adjustment which would make train travel easier for all!

A major problems for those of us who can walk but not far & stand but not long is increasing lack of seats & long walks between platforms & to lifts. As we know but 'they' dont seem to, not all disabilities are the same & not all disabilities are obvious.

Changing attitudes is not going to change transport infrastructure. Where train travel is concerned staff are supportive, but raised platforms and easier to use ramps would make things so much easier for many physically disabled and older people. #Accessibility #AccessibleTravel

A transport minister has failed to back calls for a new law that would address the multiple barriers faced by disabled passengers trying to access public transport.

Trying to get to York in time for the IMPs rehearsal for today's carol concert. I couldn't get on the train I booked because the accessible carriage was in the wrong place. @northernassist #AccessFail

Nina and Duke seem to be keeping a close eye on me this morning. I'm not sure what they're up to...

It was good to be able to share in a Remembrance Sunday service at Farsley Community Church and in an act of remembrance at the cenotaph in Farsley, earlier today. It's important to remember and to commit ourselves to pray for, and to work for peace.

I'm genuinely pleased that this is being communicated to claimants, but I am intrigued by the strategy of testing communications with recently deceased claimants π± dailyrecord.co.uk/lifestyle/β¦
