No but they were in my remit for quite a lot of years including selection, training and various pastoral issues. Coffee on offer if chat would be helpful

Yes I wondered about the flags... It was a follow-up question in a feedback form about hospice services but they probably bought in a standard set of questions

Yesterday I was answering a question on ethnicity and was offered the choice between White English and White British. Somehow White English seems odd (even allowing for Welsh ancestry). Do some people object to being British?

Thank you BBCNews. Power is a β€˜burning issue’ and scaffolding is an β€˜up and down industry’. HIGNIFY by mistake?

Yes I was made deaconess in 1984, but was in Cambridge for 7years before that. I was married at ChristChurch

HT had a deaconess in my day - the only one in the Diocese of Ely, and they couldn’t think they wanted another (they were my sponsoring diocese) It was a different world!

Christ Church was a church plant out of STAG. It is in the same parish as St Andrew-the-less, which used to be known as the Abbey Church in my day

I’ve got one of those- they were still issued in 1952

Does your diocese have a lone working policy that covers issues like these? We used to run training sessions for lay pastoral visitors on staying safe

We were looking at an empty vicarage in a parish we were considering when wardens and we discovered an urgent need for a stopcock. Eventually found in the garden covered in rotting leaves

There is a grant in England but it’s before ordination, not before you start training. There are a few charities that help ordinands in financial hardship

Unless you have v little luggage we found some sort of wheels to transport tent etc to field useful. Ours were a cheap trolley from IKEA
