Just when you thought there was no subject left for any new McCartney content, there's now a new film coming out about the fact that his first bass guitar got lost and then turned up many decades later. What a world we live in. I genuinely cannot wait to see this.

Another incredible Namugongo week complete - raising thousands of pounds for Uganda Martyrs Seminary Namugongo 🇺🇬 About 30 students, often from some of the poorest dioceses in the world, are studying because of bursaries that are offered from money raised by Oak Hill students.

Same old.

A joy to play a small part in Dorna's training (and many others like her with wonderful stories of God's grace and power). So many of our students these days have backgrounds/heritages/stories from places outside the UK. God on the move.

@thevicarswife Oh excellent! Yeah auction on Wednesday.

@ChrisHowles The Vicar still has his one-of-a-kind Oak Hill branded computer bag, bought at one of the Namugongo auctions :)

A wonderful part of college life. A beautiful, mutual, reciprocal, decades long cross-cultural theological partnership that has blessed countless people and their ministries across Uganda and UK.

There's many reasons not to replicate John's attitude to women (very few not to replicate Paul's) but the fact that the two coolest men on the planet decidely, independently, in 1970 to set up bands with their (not especially musically gifted!) wives just because they loved them and admired them so much and were so proud to be with them and didn't want to be apart is an underrated incredible thing about the two of them.

@ChrisHowles Really enjoyed it. I think Linda and Paul’s marriage is really beautiful.

I have a backup plan in case my academic career in missiology doesn't work out.

@Scott_W_Dunford oh excellent!! I'm only halfway through. Interesting init? Less a documentary, more a collage of music, art, clips, quotes etc. I like it though. He's SUCH a dude. What's your thoughts?

@ChrisHowles Just finished watching Man on the Run Documentary

@nathancreitz 💯 leave as is.

On ending a sentence with a preposition: "That is the sort of English up with which I will not put." (Churchill) Should I change this sentence in the conclusion of an academic paper? Or leave as is?

So many wonderful new things happening @OakHillLondon. I wish I could tweet them all! But you can get a good sense from the website, their Twitter feed, and the YouTube channel. Do dig around - there's almost certainly something we're doing which might serve you well!

@Robert_E_Kelly @InsideEdition You and our family are just brilliant. i love the way you've dealt with all this...embraced it! It's brought so much joy to so many people. Good on you!

Today is the ninth anniversary of the BBC Dad blooper. Marion is now 13; James is now 9. Some recent pictures are attached below. We did an interview looking back on the blooper for @InsideEdition, which should be up shortly. 1 youtube.com/watch?v=Mh4f9A…

Podcasts for tomorrow's run.

Is there any more devastating indictment of parts of Christian missionary history than this? Honestly, it still sucks the life out of me every time I read it.

We've got two 1 week courses running at Oak Hill this summer. Learn with others from experts in their field at our lovely North London campus 🏡 Just £350 (or free if you're a former student).

@NatashaKabogoz1 Haha yes you're right! We do enjoy that picture very much.

@ChrisHowles What a perfect book cover for an amazing book to be written someday if you're not writing one yet.

Our kids' school wanted photographs of the kids reading in interesting/unusual places for World Book Day today. So this is what our guys crafted with some friends and Ludo here on the spectacularly beautiful Oak Hill grounds.

Oh this is so significant. Really looking forward to it. Do join us for what promises to be an important (and humbling?) day of learning, listening, and reflecting on class and ministry in the UK today.
