It’s very good to be a guest of St Peter’s School in York this evening for a magnificent fireworks display to celebrate the foiled bomb plot of one of their famous old boys.
Remember, remember, the fifth of November, gunpowder, treason, and plot. I see no reason why gunpowder treason should ever be forgot. Holler boys, holler boys, let the bells ring! Holler boys, holler boys, God save the King!
The Draft Conversion Practices Bill is not needed. Abusive coercion is already illegal. The draft Bill is being pursued by many as an avenue that will block people from coming into contact with the transformative truth of the Christian faith.
It was a real joy at our Northern Diocesan Synod to receive The Revd Chris Hegg into the ministry of the Free Church of England from the Church of England Diocese of Blackburn.
Please beware of those ‘clergy’ and ‘churches’ that seek to win a following and grift an income by exploiting political grievances. They don’t care for you, and they don’t care for the Kingdom of God. They are worldly and ruthless.
I’ve had enquiries asking why the ‘Confessing Anglican Church’ hasn’t done anything about the serious situation in Morecambe. I share the concerns. I don’t know the answer. I’ve had to write to the relevant authority 25 times since April as incidents have occurred. (1/2)
Sadly this serious situation is ongoing. My door is ever open to those affected and concerned groups and individuals. I encourage those affected to make reports to Prevent and the Police.
Heading back to York after an excellent Evensong and Dinner in London with the Cambridge Monarchists.
I too have been on the receiving end of harassment from ‘Tommy Robinson’ associates. They left me a voice note saying ‘We’re coming for you.’ They used someone else’s device to do it as I had already blocked them. I published the relevant sections of it online. @DailyMailUK
Very much looking forward to being with the saints at St George’s Blackburn this Sunday, where I’ll be leading and preaching at the 10.30am service of Morning Prayer. Do join me if you’re in the Blackburn area.
It was a good first day.
The @ChurchesEngland Enabling Group is meeting over the next two days to discuss our governance and to share thoughts about Artificial Intelligence and the English church.
Thank you to Prof David Wilkinson from @eclasproject and Phil Hewinson from Multiply Academy for sharing their experience this afternoon
#ChurchesTogether
Glad to be here at The Hayes Conference Centre in Derbyshire.
We’re very glad to be represented by Bishop Matthew over the next two days at the @ChurchesEngland Enabling Group, where the main focus will be on Artificial Intelligence and equipping churches and leaders for the scientific age.
