In London this week-end to sing "Messiah From Scratch" with @trbcsings.bsky.social @royalalberthall.bsky.social. Amazing to sing with over 3000 other singers from 22 countries -no rehearsal- everyone prepared at home and followed Conductor Brian Kaye's lead. The Hallelujah Chorus was awesome.

Islay is a lovely place to spend time. Just watch out for the sheep lying in the middle of the road!

Fifth ballot of Canada's General Synod elected +Shane Parker of Ottawa Diocese (not 1 of the original nominees). Keeping ++Anne Germond & +Shane Parker in prayer during the transition.

Many thanks for posting/reposting these. Watching from the UK - keeping Archbisop Anne (my former bishop before our move to UK) in prayer as she presides over proceedings & for remaining candidates. Praying for Holy Spirit's wisdom & guidance for all that occurs today. Come Holy Spirit come.

Prof Wells definitely has a true gift of putting stories together that leave one wondering, pondering & reflecting about encounters a long time after. A great way to celebrate 100 years of CPE with ACPE (Ireland).

It was a good day. Lots of thought provoking conversations & reflections to take home and ponder.

Rev Dr Samuel Welles was the keynote speaker. Powerful stories on how lives have been changed due to an answer or question. Thought: Christ set us as a seal on his heart and Christ has set us as a seal on his arm. @danielnuzum.bsky.social

Attending this CPE celebratory conference. Looking forward to learning more about how CPE can transform lives. @danielnuzum.bsky.social

Great photos..The Round Tower brings back wonderful memories.

Glendalough is lovely. Hope your day goes well and has great weather for the hiking.

It's a lovely country. Newgrange, Dingle Penninsula, Dublin. Take lots of photos and drink in the "thin" places.

I have always liked "Walking Mary" outside Salisbury Cathedral. Thank you for posting this on Mary's day.

30 yr as a healthcare chaplain recently forced into retirement due to financial constraints where I was based. Loved what I did. Still providing a hospitable, listening, non-judgmental listening ear as I hear people's stories.

Welcome! It was good to have you join us today for my birthday celebration afternoon coffee.
