As many gather in @Ely_Cathedral for the funeral of Anna Matthews, the @LadyPeelTrust has established a fund in Anna’s memory, to support ministry in @churchofengland, with an emphasis on vocations. This comes at the suggestion of Anna’s husband, Stephen. ladypeeltrust.org/annamatthews

These guys are amazing. Clergy, if you need a little assistance, then drop them a line. I was frustrated to hear at Synod that 20% of clergy had to access emergency financial support last year - the C of E must clearly do much more to improve its working conditions for clergy.

“If me being gay was a choice, it was a choice that was made far, far above my pay grade…I wish the Mike Pences of the world would understand: that if you’ve got a problem with who I am, your problem is not with me. Your quarrel, sir, is with my creator.” theguardian.com/us-news/2023/m…

Word of the day is ‘mumpsimuses’ (16th century): those who insist they are right and apportion blame to others without looking at themselves.

In Vietnam there is a traditional folk image of the difference between heaven and hell: In HELL, people have chopsticks a yard long so that they cannot reach their mouths. In HEAVEN, the chopsticks are the same length - but the people feed one another. ( - Source unknown)

Thank you @MadsDavies for highlighting the financial difficulties faced by retired #clergy. Many tell us the cost of living is especially worrying for them, including energy bills and car repairs. (continued below)

Rowan Williams has the most beautiful way of breaking down big questions in Q&As, which somehow make them more real, accessible and participatory. A life of prayer is surely at the heart of being able to do this. ‘How do we discern the will of God?’ (Silence and Honeycakes)

How about some essential balance ? Just like Gary this bloke is sometimes employed by the BBC for his respected expertise . He too presents his views publicly . Just wondering if anyone in the government wants to retrospectively kick off about these tweets ? Nah, don’t suppose so

The BBC has decided not to broadcast an episode of David Attenborough’s flagship new series on British wildlife because of fears its themes of the destruction of nature would risk a backlash from Tory politicians and the rightwing press theguardian.com/media/2023/mar…

Did the @BBCRadio4 @BBCr4today presenter really just ask the Deputy Mayor or Mariupol if he believed he was going to get out of the city alive or not? What a cruel thing to ask someone under such immense pressure and danger.
