This. At @synod, we'll inevitably have the annual debate about whether the (comparatively small) fee for weddings in church should be abolished. The trouble is, that argument is nuts. Too often, people don't want to get married; they're pushed into a 'event day' wedding. 🧵
“Martin, I have £13,000 of Credit Card debt, and £37,000 in loans from my wedding this year. I’m struggling to get a 0% balance transfer. Is this due to my loan which I took out six months ago?” Courtesy of @itvMLshow ‘reboot your finances'. Watch the full show on: itv.com/watch/the-martin-lew…

If your an organist and a child say can have a go ??!!!. my goodness get them up on the stall and let them try . the Big Smiles i have seen over the years has lead to many children asking for a keyboard from their parents. and Bang the seed is sown .👍👍👍👍
Whenever children come to visit this happens. I'm absolutely convinced the reason we have a lack of organists is simply not being exposed to the instrument, &/or given the chance to explore. This young lady & her brother were fascinated & loved it! #playlikeagirl @annalapwood

From the @prayerbook_soc on Facebook, an excellent perspective from an Anglo-Catholic Prayer Book parish, including this great description of 'Lancashire Low': "Not high up the candle ‘bells and smells’; nor ‘happy clappy’ evangelicalism, but a 1/3 chrisswift.blog/2024/08/18/l…

Total disgrace.
👰🤵 This is NOT what "getting your marriage back on track" means! 😡 ❌ Trespass is illegal - even on your wedding day! Use level crossings safely: networkrail.co.uk/communitie… #SafetySaturday

The № 1 reason people stop attending church is because they moved house. The № 2 reason is because the service times were now inconvenient. Davis & Graham, ‘𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘎𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘋𝘦𝘤𝘩𝘶𝘳𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨’, 2023.
The amount of modern Christians who left the faith because they couldn't get answers to questions Thomas Aquinas answered 800 years ago is the tragic consequence of ahistorical Christianity.

We talk about relentlessness a lot here. And we know it's not always the case that you'll feel relentless when you live with diabetes day in and day out. Diabetes can affect our mental health in lots of ways But no matter what, you're not alone in the journey 💙 #MHAW

The oldest living chart artist is 100 today. The lovely Jane Morgan released her first single in 1946 and had a UK No.1 with The Day The Rains Came in 1958. @TalkingPicsTV Heritagechart.co.uk
