Can you help find my son’s much-loved bear?

It was in a black suitcase taken from the Edinburgh to Kings Cross train, departing at 15:30 today. Suitcase was gone when the train arrived in London. Also in the case, a colourful pillow, clothes and meds.

I am really chuffed to let you know that, following a couple of days of discernment/assessment (Stage 2) last week, I have been recommended for ordination training in the Church of England.

There is something about the power imbalance 1-2-1 that is very unhelpful and where issues often start… but Jay and his Bishop, that’s a huge power imbalance.

Absolutely. It’s a whole new category of vulnerable.

Telling that Jay was in discernment…

For me it’s telling that Jay was in the discernment process. Given the power imbalances, especially with a bishop, I wonder if there ought to be a special safeguarding category related to the vulnerability of those discerning vocation?

This is one of the biggest tragedies in our history. A preventable disaster if the government had put in the correct guidance and still five years on they are still telling us to wash our hands for an airborne virus. This virus is not mild. 1 in 10 have long covid and rising.

Interesting. I’m doing research part-time but in a very different field to my original PhD. I’m now publishing work in peer-reviewed journals but people seem to want the PhD in this subject to take it seriously.

Today, the world mourns the passing of Pope Francis.

He inspired millions, far beyond the Catholic Church, with his humility and love so pure for the less fortunate.

My thoughts are with all who feel this profound loss.

A prayer for Pope Francis, on a black background with graphics of a cross and a candle.

Father in heaven, we praise your name
for all who have finished
this life loving and trusting you,
for the example of their lives,
the life and grace you gave them
and the peace in which they rest.
We praise you today for your servant Francis
and for all that you did through him.
Meet us in our sadness
and fill our hearts with praise and thanksgiving,
for the sake of our risen Lord, Jesus Christ.
