Glorious!
Translation:
When the days of Pentecost were completed,
they were all saying with one accord, alleluia;
and suddenly there came from the sky a noise, alleluia,
like a mighty wind, and it filled the whole house, alleluia, alleluia.

A real joy to be back in York today for the consecration of three new bishops, including our new @BishopofDurham, Rick Simpson. Wonderful service! You can watch the video here: youtube.com/watch?v=Brxrf_sL…

Wonderful! I *think* this means that Rick Simpson is the Bishop of Durham, despite not yet having been consecrated as a bishop (until tomorrow morning). It's all a bit confusing...! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appoin…
We are delighted to announce that the Archbishop of York @CottrellStephen confirmed election of the Venerable Rick Simpson as @BishopofDurham during a service at @York_Minster earlier this afternoon 🎉

The UK university system is in a mess: overly reliant on fees from international students (to subsidise domestic students), who often end up massively in debt (and without the high-paying jobs they were hoping for), while the whole sector is undergoing a funding crisis

Andrew Goddard on the future of GAFCON and the Anglican Communion. GAFCON’s new Global Anglican Communion (GAC) is putting huge pressure on many of the leading figures in GAFCON/GSFA to choose between the GAC and the (Canterbury) Anglican Communion. psephizo.com/life-ministry/t…

This Wednesday, Sarah Mullally will fully begin her ministry as Archbishop in a service at Canterbury Cathedral. Worth listening to this podcast interview with her biographer, Andrew Atherstone, who handles the topic (and the podcast host) extremely well. spectator.com/podcast/who-is…
