This is the best Christian conference I've ever been to! The people are kind, generous and inspiring. The sessions are fantastic and i feel God is here and doing great things #ofmonsite2025 @onfiremission.bsky.social

I hope this is the sort of church we are as @onfiremission.bsky.social. We don't always get it right, but this is how we long to be: a reflection of God's boundless love. #OFMonsite2025 #PilgrimPeople

Steve Benford speaks about finding holiness in desolation as well as consolation: "God is a God who has promised to be with us." #OFMonsite2025 #PilgrimPeople

A hassock to remember St John's by. I kneel a lot more these days. Grateful for their care and interest in my journey towards ordination

As placements come to a close, some wonderful memories.
High praise from a community volunteer: "She's alright. She can come again" then she gave me a bracelet she had hand made for me ❀️ I will treasure their authentic passion for life.

" When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am your God" – Leviticus 19:33-34.

AI has an environmental problem. Here’s what the world can do about that. The sprawling data centres that house AI servers churn out toxic electronic waste and are voracious consumers of electricity, which in most places is still produced from fossil fuels.

"A request made through ChatGPT, an AI-based virtual assistant, consumes 10 times the electricity of a Google Search"

This isn't a game. This is accelerated destruction via huge usage of power, water, resources etc. Stop using it - especially for messing about!!

We have treasure
We are jars of clay
Broken in places

The Holy Spirit
Binds together
Shines through

On the outside

We don't see
We cannot see
But God sees

A TNG scene. We're in the Enterprise conference room, where Picard is holding a meeting with Data, Troi, and Dr Crusher. Barclay is also there, for unknown reasons. Maybe he wandered into the meeting and just sat down, and everyone was too polite to mention it. That happened to me once. I was visiting an office location I didn't normally go to and I wasn't quite sure which conference room I was supposed to be in. I walked into one and sat down and it took me five minutes to realize I was in the wrong meeting. From the perspective of the people in that room, halfway through that meeting, a stranger walked in, sat next to the boss, took notes for five minutes, then walked out without saying a word.

At its heart, Star Trek is a utopian fantasy about a society so advanced that they are capable of holding productive meetings that last no longer than three minutes
