For the vast majority of people it is. The decision today brings clarity to a confusing array of legislation about what defines 'a woman's & the implications for single sex spaces while still protecting transpeople from discrimination. It's a good outcome.

Let's pray for him as he helps select the next Archbishop. 🙏 Being ABC is a difficult task but 'tongue in cheek' I think +Graham might have 'dodged a bullet' here. 😂

Good to be here, where I hope to share:
•something of the Christian faith
•my love of the people and places of Norfolk and Waveney
•the ministry entrusted to me as a Church of England bishop
•my passion for the environment.
Just as the Magi undertook a long & hazardous journey following a star to celebrate the birth of a new born King, may your journey into 2025 deepen your faith & lead you into a brighter future full of Christian hope, wonder & love. Happy New Year 🙂

Really looking forward to these services at All Saints Necton & St Andrew's North Pickenham. Please join us if you can #Christmas #midnightcommunion #christingle May the Lord be with you this Christmas time 🎄
23.12.2024 23:57 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Thanks for your kind words & understanding. Just because someone needs 24 hour palliative care as my mother did, doesn't need to mean that they lose their dignity. As an Anglican Vicar who has supported many vulnerable people in their last days I am very concerned about the possibility of coercion.

She valued her life & we valued every moment with her. Good palliative care is the answer.
