Since when do werewolves come through a 'portal'? Folklore knowledge in this country is at an all-time low if that's where people think werewolves come from

In your charity, join in prayers for the repose of the soul of Fr Martin Chambers of Galloway Diocese who has died. Fr Martin was appointed by Pope Francis as the Bishop-elect of @DunkeldDiocese & was due to be ordained bishop in a few weeks time. May he rest in peace. – at Baile Mor, Scotland

Tonight over 150 female clergy will gather to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the ordination of women priests in the Church of England. It's been a privilege to play a small part in the arrangements and to serve in @dioceseoflondon with the leadership of @bishopSarahM

‘Christmas changed after you got ordained’.
Honest #clergyspouse reflection from my long suffering other half. So true. Shout out to all those who are married to a vicar, therefore married to the Church, therefore married to #Christmas 😵💫🎄‼️😵💫🎄‼️

Parents had a little do this evening to celebrate 60 years of marriage.
Brother @JoJoLaWe spoke about how pressure had turned these carbon-based life forms into diamond geezers; I wondered how their 60 could have so many factors and yet still be indivisible

I find myself reaching for #poetry to help me listen to the news. Today I remembered Nikita Gill’s ‘The Truth About Monsters’.
“…every monster you…will ever meet was once a human being with a soul that was as soft & light as silk. Someone stole that silk….”
