Newydd fod ar Radio Cymru (Bwrw Golwg) I drafod y gyfrol difyr yma am grefydd a phobl ifanc.

I’ve just been on Radio Cymru (Bwrw Golwg) to discuss this fascinating book about young people and the search for religion.

🤣 That could be the next book….!

I wrote this poem in response to the #Trump #Vance #Zelensky meeting to process the feelings it stirred up.

Yes, it’s about war and diplomacy.

But, on a purely human level, seeing someone bullied the way Zelenskyy was in the Oval Office was very distressing. It resonates with anyone who’s ever been ignored, dismissed or gaslit.

This was needed.

People really think that DEI means they give unqualified people jobs.

No that's called a Trump Administration.

No second state visit for Trump This is UNBELIEVABLE. Keir Starmer has just handed Donald Trump a letter from King Charles, inviting him for a second state visit to the UK. It’s totally unprecedented, and I was so outraged when I he...

Unbelievable. Donald Trump has been invited to a state visit to the UK. We should not be rolling out the red carpet to celebrate this man. Agree? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/no...

And I'm just loving Dan Hodges right now.

This is thuggery from Trump and Vance, plain and simple.

They are bullying the brave true patriot Zelensky into accepting a deal which effectively hands victory to Russia. Unless the UK and Europe step up, we are facing a betrayal of Ukraine.

Trump and Vance bullied and humiliated Zelensky – who is fighting for the survival of his nation – broadcast live worldwide.

Starmer has invited Trump for a state visit. We should think twice before rolling out the red carpet.

Dal yn cael amser braf yn Morocco. Trip I fynyddoedd Atlas, a gweld co-op Merched yn cynhyrchu oil argan, ond ymlacio fel arall.

Still having a great time in Morocco.
Basically relaxing but also had a trip to the Atlas Mountains and visited a women’s co-op producing argan oil.

Cael amser gwych yn Moroco. Mae’n anhygoel yma!
Having a brilliant time - blown away by Morocco.

It was balm for the soul 😍

Yes. ☺️We all know what it’s saying!

Letter from Darowen Mike Parker Slightly to my surprise, I’ve become a bit of a churchgoer.  I’ve always loved mooching around them out of hours, but shied away from services thanks to an unshakeable lack of belief in th...

A service naturally and entirely yn Gymraeg – prayers, readings, songs, responses, laughter, the lot – is a thing of such rare beauty ✍️ @mikeparker.bsky.social wp.me/p8Mk4U-Tkh

More reviews I was thrilled that Prof Helen King chose this collection as her favourite book of 2024 for a feature for the Church Times Festive Books. This was a tremendous encouragement – she calls the p…
