A blessing to gather as #SSOM's in @chelmsdio this afternoon to share in the learning from the recent survey, to create connections and think about the future shape, needs, and gifting of Self Supporting Ordained Ministers across the Diocese.

A prayer following the death of Pope Francis. 🙏
ALT A prayer for Pope Francis, on a black background with graphics of a cross and a candle. Father in heaven, we praise your name for all who have finished this life loving and trusting you, for the example of their lives, the life and grace you gave them and the peace in which they rest. We praise you today for your servant Francis and for all that you did through him. Meet us in our sadness and fill our hearts with praise and thanksgiving, for the sake of our risen Lord, Jesus Christ.
Such a blessing to work with amazing and passionate clergy and lay sisters and brothers in Christ on this application to the SMMI Board #BelievinginBarking @chelmsdio
Delighted and thankful that this grant has been awarded.
Well done to each and every lay, clergy and congregation member of Team Barking who has helped discern and shape this work, and to diocesan colleagues for their ongoing support.

Delighted and thankful that the Barking episcopal area has been awarded £14.95M from the national Church to further develop missional work across our area, and to continue to build up the gifts, leadership and communities with which we are so blessed.

At #MI6 we need people who think differently. In the run up to #NeurodiversityCelebrationWeek, I’ve been talking to colleagues with ADHD and autism to learn what more we can do to help them thrive in our workplace, and benefit fully from their talents.

My prayer pal this #MorningPrayer
Blessed be those who suffer but silently get on with it anyway,
Sacred are the words of those who struggle with confidence and yet have the courage to speak,
Holy is the space between, the pause, the inbreath, us moving aside....

Why is it that some people can keep their feet clean wearing flip-flops and I look like I am auditioning for the Lord of the Rings (although the new hippie tiedye version of course!)

Friday is now Fri"Yay!" Such a friendly group, and SO much fun had each week, last week we talked about whether we collected anything when younger - so many interesting memories were shared, all led by the fabulous Revd Lynn Hurry and her guitar! #dementiaawareness #dementiacare
Blessed to be thinking about 'nearness/proximity' to God and each other (John 19:25b-27) today on Mothering Sunday with the church family of St Mary's Little Hallingbury, helped by a postitnote 'tulip' sharing what we see as Mothering in each other. @chelmsdio @Churchesofthe6V
This message board sits in our porch and it hasn't changed since Advent....this new message means 1. I have had space to remember to change the message
2. It's #NeurodiversityWeek

"I don't think prayer works" says my friend Dan (the Priest!)..."toasters work, computers work..." he has a point..! "prayer is far more than that, it's about relationship, it's about conversation" #PrayerGallery @chelmsdio grateful for my time spent with him @StFranksCC

Thanks to @pacebene for the inspiration whilst @RidleyHall - we are now running a Lenten Creative Theology Project with Primary Sch's in the @Churchesofthe6V
A poem for the Poet @poetrylawyer Joseph the dreamer,
the colourful coat,
the brother,
the servant,
the prisoner,
the rock star talent,
a story familiar on the outside,
but dissected and raw,
filled with power and position,
idolatry more than mission,
do we elevate or...
denigrate,
encourage or dissempower,
motivation drives us hour by hour,
ripples of which unknowingly profound.
Look up first,
then look around,
good with God,
good with others,
am I sound.
