A joyful Service of Ordination for the priesting of Revs David, Julie, Les and Pat at Christ Church, Wanstead this morning.
Prayers for them, for their training incumbents and for their Curacy contexts in this coming phase of life and ministry.

Delighted and thankful that this grant has been awarded.
Well done to each and every lay, clergy and congregation member of Team Barking who has helped discern and shape this work, and to diocesan colleagues for their ongoing support.

An opportunity to walk in the (now so quiet) old city and visit the Holy Sepulchre where I lit a candle to remember my brother, Bahram, murdered in another troubled country 44 years ago on 6th May 1980.

✝️ One of the ways many Christians start and end prayer is by making the sign of the cross. It’s a reminder that we belong to Jesus, the crucified and risen one.

A ringing endorsement from #generalsynod of the place of estates evangelism - front and centre - in @churchofengland strategy.
Great work from @BpBurnley & blistering maiden speech from @janerichards
#EETG @estatechurches
Work on estates churches has been 'utterly beautiful' in the face of multiple challenges, @BpBurnley told Synod today.
Members voted to redouble efforts to establish churches and double the number of young active Christians on housing estates.

Great to join with good people from across the @chelmsdio to reflect on ‘focusing outwards’ both to those denied #FoRB and in loving Spirit-filled mission.
Clergy and Lay Ministers from across Essex and East London have gathered at Chelmsford Cathedral today for our Annual Bishop's Study Day. Led by Bishop @pmounstephen, the theme of the day was Focusing Outward.

A powerful, prayerful & purposeful gathering of the CofE #EETG & partners
‘62% of U19s nationally live in a parish which includes an estate or a community in the 20% most deprived’
To grow younger & more diverse, the Church needs to focus investment on estates

Why are Mary and Joseph homeless and in a manger when Jesus is born? This is systematic apart from someone deciding there has to be a census. This is #community created #homelessness. And actually most homelessness is. Tim Renshaw, MBE, CEO @archerproject @DioceseofSheff
