Looking forward to being in Carlisle and talking about religious space and why it matters
Join @CarlisleCath on Thursday 7 May for an evening with @_F_B_G_, the #author of #TwelveChurches. With his trademark reverence and revelry, Revd. Butler-Gallie travels through time and place to get to the heart of the religion he is so passionate about - tinyurl.com/484cmh8d

"Although we live in a society which can all too easily make a sharp distinction between the concerns of the life of faith the work of the world, the pattern of The Litany is a reminder that this is a very modern and, in many ways, artificial distinction."

Probably one of the best sermons (and I am not a religious person) I have ever heard. Beautifully situated in histories and the redressing of power dynamics. Much appreciate reflections from @revbcarter 🙏🏻

This morning the Revd Gill Alexander, Associate Priest at St Cuthbert’s, Haydon Bridge, set off on her cycling camino. Over the next week, Gill will cycle to all churches in the Diocese of Newcastle dedicated to St Cuthbert. The mission is to raise funds towards new facilities at St Cuthbert's Haydon Bridge and a new roof for Haydon Old Church, where there was a short service this morning, led by the Revd Ollie Dempsey, to send Gill on her way with God's blessing. Gill will be accompanied by Bev. We wish them well and look forward to their return at the St Cuthbert's Harvest Market next Saturday (10am to 1pm). All are very welcome. Read more and sponsor Gill here newcastle.anglican.org/news/…

Loving the nostalgia-inducing soundtrack to this (somewhere between Midsomer Murders, Father Brown and Enid Blyton), portraying our life here at @CarlisleCath. Listen out for 'Bye' at the end of the phone call - my debut on the BBC!!

An excellent short 🧵 on Tillotson.
But Tillotson is much overlooked in his eirenic work to bridge across the 1689 gap, wrote carefully and thoughtfully on the Trinitarian debates of the late C.17th, and was widely disseminated in Parish Libraries in the C18th.
