I couldn't be more blessed with my choice of Priest to "preach me in" elegantly crafted & utterly charmed my congregation- he's been one of my biggest cheer leaders throughout this last few years - I've been very lucky with you as a mentor, mate and all round classy gent ❤️🎊

Congratulations and thanks to @Punkdimmitis who presided with a gloriously confident humility this morning, in front of God, me, and the 7 retired clergy in the congregation, who've settled among the squirrels and sand dunes. Some fertile conversations afterwards about my sermon.

Four artists could see their work be part of the major retrospective exhibition coming to Birkenhead this year, celebrating Paul O’Grady. 📢

A sad loss to the art world; and quite a character - such a giant in his field.
May he rest in peace.

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.

Preaching for Environment Sunday, I had crafted the sentence "like when we care for our churchyard and all the wildlife in it"
This morning, I wasn't expecting God to send us a fluffy owl fledgling, who eventually was collected by his mum🦉

Happy Pride Month! 🏳️🌈 We’re kicking off the celebrations with a dash of total chaos.
Flashback to 1995, when the legendary Lily Savage hijacked a #ThisMorning wine tasting session as only she could. 🍷
Here’s to a Pride Month that’s just as vibrant, unfiltered, and fun as Lily!

Off to hear my old tutor, Mark Chapman, honour Percy Dearmer, at S. Mary's Primrose Hill, his church, with @Punkdimmitis.
A friend of Vaughan Williams, he sought to reinvigorate English tradition in the life of the Church against Puritanism and imitation of Rome.
A loveable snob.

Born OTD in Tuebrook, Liverpool in 1829, he was the man who paid for the first free public drinking fountains in England, erected in Liverpool.

Looking out at my congregation this morning I notice we had 5 of our retired clergymen were wearing beige suit jackets.
I'm presuming there was an email sent out?

12 Years ago today, confirmed into the church - saying 'yes' to God's call on my life.
Little I know it took a rollercoaster of 10 years for me to be ordained at the very same altar - thanks be to God!
