Very happy about ecumenical joys, but is anyone else giggling in juvenile fashion at ‘sprouts of peace’? #cofe

I so need that beef patty plait recipe

Oh I am scarred. Found myself in a group with the conservatist of conservatives and being asked to ‘share my story’. And all the outcomes were just ignored.

That would be the doxology, I think - but punctuation in translation is always guesswork.

It’s time for the annual wailing and gnashing of teeth. We are not singing it! I gave in last year but not this time. We do not plough the fields and scatter. We live in #Lewisham #cofe

Today’s act of political violence in Utah against Charlie Kirk is absolutely disgusting and unacceptable.

We don’t have to agree on everything, but we should all agree on this: political violence is wrong, and has no place in our democracy

How can a ticket from London to York cost £100 return and there not even be a seat left to reserve?

I'm not stupid and I'm actively exploring the question.

Most Israelis are born in Israel.

Our churchwarden uses AI these days.

Cleaning the church, sorting out the linen, tidying up, getting ready, failing to write a sermon ✝️

Sacristan on holiday so church setup haphazard.
Still blessed, still holy. #cofepeeps

Hopelessly tangled thurible chains and the sound of silent sobbing in the Vestry.

I sometimes wish I was an evangelical

She’s awful. I can’t bear her. I just wish we could object to what she says and does without sinking to cheap misogyny. The comments on this thread are grim.

Goof Friday? I’m going to have to reprint that one. #cofepeeps

Don’t they bow after they’ve put the cross wherever it is going?
