Hi. Here’s a thread. It’s an imaginary scenario with elements of truth. It’s not meant as a dig just a cautionary tale. It may take some time for the whole thread to come live as I’m copying it & refining it from @piphilthims The truth at the end always works x

I am grateful today (as are several others) for this lady at church and her Tshirt!
As well as the immediate/intended effect, there were so many conversations about it after the service...

In the world's largest vacuum chamber, a bowling ball and feathers are used for a real-life demonstration of a concept Galileo first proposed over 400 years ago.

Dear @RishiSunak
Please put politics aside. Think if it were your wife or one of your girls lying in an ambulance or hospital corridor with no one able to attend to them.
Show your humanity and call a state of emergency and urgent COBRA meeting

Dear @churchofengland #bishops
We need to talk about the #CDM.
It’s over 3 years since @thesheldonhub @smmretreat first raised the alarm about the terrible harms being done by #CDM to #clergy and #clergyfamilies. It’s pretty rubbish for .../1

We’re gutted to say that we're having to cancel Greenbelt Festival for a second year. We've worked to the wire to try and go ahead. But we can't go any further without insurance. We're heartbroken, but still hopeful. We're down. But we're not quite out. greenbelt.org.uk/gb21-update…

Belonging is not essentially about belonging to something, but knowing you are accepted somewhere, not for what you offer or believe but simply for being you. Belonging to a church is not about having a faith or a set of beliefs but others encouraging and believing in you x

Gonna post on here some of my songs with a bit of info & a simple unaccompanied video.
The words found on a ‘blessed thought’ card are anon so can’t attribute them.
It has a rhythm of a shuttle on a loom

Dear @ecclawsoc for reasons unknown you have blocked my main account @piphilthims
The last tweet from that account that tagged you in was 4 days ago simply asking as many people I could to share the fab Christmas song from Fischy Music

This is a FREE event - gotta be worth a watch and a donation to child bereavement. I know what I'll be doing on 1 December. Not sure I'll be dressing up though!

Dear Simon @SimonPSpringett please forgive me for circumventing your blocking of my alter ego. Joker is shorthand-I don’t take myself seriously. Twitter is a good forum for robust discussions & also for apologies when needed. Sorry for any indignation caused. Have a good day x

A thread on good leaders x
13 May 2020
Good leaders:
Talk to children at their level
Don’t ask others to do something they wouldn’t
Set the example
Explain clearly any instructions
Are not rude
Don’t take umbrage
Don’t hold grudges
Care for others
Put themselves last
Encourage
Inspire
Love
We need them x

Scrolling twitter and seeing children and staff so happy to be in school together has lifted our spirits today!
We only wish we could join you for a good old sing. Perhaps we can find a way to do some playground gigs or something?
What do you reckon? Would the rain hold off?

In any sphere the best leaders:
Care
Listen
Encourage
Share
Enable
Serve
Love
They:
Set examples
Learn from mistakes
Accept criticism with grace
Know when to step aside
Mentor new leaders
Lift you up
They should never be:
Arrogant
Bossy
Aloof
Proud
Remote
Never wrong
