What a start to #AH2024 - a powerful supportive community of Black school leaders built by @Nadineolivia32 @AspiringHeads. Great keynotes from @NavSanghara @kemoywalker @DavidHermitt. Lovely for @AlisonMPeacock and I to catch up with @CharteredColl members and Fellows as well!

St Augustine of Hippo was one of the founding theologians of Christianity. What did he really look like?Is this an authentic image?

It was lovely to welcome @BishopAnneH to @queensfdn as our new principal, as the board of governors today, and have a formal picture of the trustees taken on the principals lawn. Now rushing off to catch a train to Durham. queens.ac.uk/about-us/artic…
🌟Delighted to announce that @BishopAnneH has been ratified by the trustees of @queensfdn as our new principal. I am excited to see how she might lead this extraordinary institution and learn and grow with this diverse ecumenical community. queens.ac.uk/about-us/articl…

To echo this! We at @queensfdn, as an ecumenical institution are proud to have produced some brilliant clergy across traditions! We continue to attract a wide variety of candidates from @churchofengland and beyond who are exposed to the diverse riches of many traditions. #synod
Replying to @swdoherty
So I wanted to reassure #Synod that TEIs really want to ensure that candidates for ministry have ‘a deep understanding and empathy for other traditions’, but I am sure we also have lots of learn about how we can do so even better!

Today marks 70 years since the Supreme Court handed down its landmark decision in Brown v. Board of Education, outlawing racial segregation in America’s schools.  Let’s honor the memory of the civil rights leaders, families, and children who took extraordinary risks in order to make our schools – and ultimately our country – more fair and more free. And at a time when our public schools are growing more segregated, let’s remember that our work isn’t done until every child can get an education worthy of their promise.

A challenging @queensfdn trustee board meeting today, grappling with difficult questions. But mostly we are delighted to invite suitable candidates to consider applying for the post of principal at this brilliant ecumenical theological education institute.
The Queen’s Foundation is looking to appoint a new Principal in succession to Professor Clive Marsh who will move into retirement in the summer of 2024. We are also looking for a tutor to support the growth of the Centre for Discipleship and Theology. queens.ac.uk/about-us/jobs/

October is #BlackHistoryMonth and I’ve been thinking about global majority heritage people who’ve inspired me. I’d encourage you to do the same & remember all those who journeyed to make England home and contributed to founding modern, diverse Britain.

“You have cut local services to the bone - and then you worry about antisocial behaviour?” This #bbcqt audience member gives an excoriating appraisal of the government’s performance, saying she’s “staggered” at the gap between the audience and the panel bit.ly/3Zt4wZF
