Good to see this initiative, and good to see the ABC working with partners to address what is, for me, the biggest issue of justice in the UK today. I still think the Church of England's response is too timid: we need more houses and we need them now. But this is a start.

Roman object that has baffled experts to go on show at Lincoln Museum. But surely this is easily solved!

@MadsDavies Yes. There's busy, overworked and overwhelmed, and then there's complete lack of care.
@MadsDavies I find some (most?) of them horrible, but I quite like 'the Jenny Lec'. I'm not sure why. It reminds me of this poem: poetryfoundation.org/poems/50495/je…
@MadsDavies Maybe it's just because I love elections!
@MadsDavies Many possible choices, but my favourite its "All for Jesus", mainly because of Stainer's glorious melody.
@MadsDavies Definitely the number one choice for funerals.
@MadsDavies In Heavenly love abiding, to the tune Penlan 🎵
@MadsDavies I read this and thought frankly I could use a hymn called “Obviously Guide Me” some days.
@MadsDavies This will unlock a discourse! (The hymn question, not nec your response)
MAY 2 is the day when PROJECT VIOLET releases their findings They are holding a zoom call for all who are interested in finding out more and understanding how to interact from these findings. Jane and Helen are excited to see you there Register now here👉 ow.ly/QUgN50RiNzy
@MadsDavies @RCO_Updates And as hymn-singing dwindles in schools, so those planning weddings and funerals know fewer and fewer hymns. Except, perhaps, 'All things bright and beautiful', and so we have come full circle. @RCO_Updates
@MadsDavies @RCO_Updates Of course, Lord Lisvane might offer the alternative tune 'Royal Oak' for 'All things bright...'. While I sang the more familiar tune in infants school, we used 'Royal Oak' in junior school. As an organist, it is sometimes the tune that is requested (though seldom by name).
@MadsDavies It is often chosen for funerals in this rural area because the deceased loved the natural world about them.
It was funny that when we got married the Organist, Vicar and two choristers all made a point of thanking us for not choosing All Things Bright and Beautiful, it must be more than half of people in some parishes.
@MadsDavies @yuanyi_z Probably chosen because it’s one of the few hymns non churchgoers would know. I went to a wedding once that had Jerusalem as a hymn and only three people in the congregation sang it.
@MadsDavies I quite like the John Rutter version! youtu.be/ShpRCvU_bxM?si…
@MadsDavies In the past I have played it for countless funerals at our local crematoria. Why, I really cannot understand!
@MadsDavies It’s not my favourite hymn, and it doesn’t get everything right, but “saccharine doggerel” feels like pretty snobbish judgment. I’d hope the Chair of the RCO to have a bit more understanding of the different kinds of value people can find in music than that.
