Very concerned to hear of the large fire at St John's Church, Harleston. Prayers that no one is injured and for the emergency services tackling the blaze.

Today I sat through some excellent speeches in the House of Lords. The clear message was that the ‘Assisted Dying’ Bill needs much more scrutiny. The expertise in the House is immense. Deep concerns were raised by doctors, nurses, lawyers, and those of us experienced in pastoral care of the dying.

An incredible welcome from Bishop Reginald and Anglican parishioners in the New Guinea Islands - though being thrusted at with spears was an exhilarating new experience!

The smiling faces of a couple unexpectedly married by a bishop!
Congratulations to Adam and Nina, married by the Bishop of Thetford who stepped in to officiate at short notice.
“Fantastic couple and a privilege for me…. I don’t get the chance to take many weddings.”

The rain held off for the annual outdoor service at St Benet’s Abbey on Sunday 27 July.
The only monastery in England not closed by Henry VIII but given to the Bishop of Norwich.
Each summer, as Abbot of the Abbey, the Bishop holds a service of prayer and worship.
