Wonder how Lloyds feel about the β€œwe’ll turn out AIS off and go anyway” strategy?

Less than month. It was announced midway through Synod so something like the 12th of Feb.

Bishop Andrew announced he had been given a terminal diagnosis during Synod, which was less than a month ago. Praying for him, and for his family, friends, and all mourning him.

I have visited a bunch of churches in New York and I confess I haven’t heard of them.

No idea, though Daily Prayer is on a two year cycle not a three year one.

Supreme Court blocks California restrictions on schools notifying parents about students' transgender status Parents and teachers who oppose the state policies sued, claiming their parental, free speech and religious rights were violated.

If you think what is happening in America can't happen here, it already is. This is in effect pretty much the same as Labour's "guidance" for schools, and means trans young people put at risk of abuse if parents are told. Schools should be safe for trans young people.

You can tell Starmer isn’t Winston Churchill, because he’s actually led his party to a plurality win in a general election.

(That’s enough attempts to basically troll everyone.)

Many people on the British right genuinely think that what America wants should be more important to British policy than what the British themselves actually want.

I mean I know rabies is super rare in this country (thankfully!) but the fact his first thought was Lyme Disease does suggest it should have been fairly obvious it was a neurological issue.

Yes. In these circumstances it wouldn't have changed the outcome, but it's concerning. The psychiatrist did a good job; I have questions about the wider picture.

I recommend NHS prescription prepayment certificates if you’re on recurring/repeat prescriptions and not eligible for free ones. Something like 114.50 a year. Saves me a fair whack
