On this day in 1649, a band of radicals set out to make the world ‘a common treasury.’ But the Diggers weren't just pioneering socialists — they were forerunners of the environmental movement too. tribunemag.co.uk/2024/04/the-di…

@robbins_glyn @uaf @elondonmosque @JewishSocialist Yes, same reaction - 10 years! It was a great victory, and having to deal with silly political divides and the Met having lost confidence in community engagement after the riots. Whose streets? - our streets!

@uaf @elondonmosque @JewishSocialist @FatherAlan Hah! Thanks for the memories. 10 years! I remember it with pride and when looking at the wall of our spare room. But we're never complacent about these things #NoPasaran

@appalachia_john @mthr_alice Same argument for why it can’t be given to Americans, whatever their gender!

Ahh, so nice to start Sunday morning with a backlog of men telling me I'm not a priest. Thank goodness for the 🚫 button.

@OsterlohAtLarge @RevRichardColes Sorry, come to this thread very late, through St Bugga’s predecessor, St Mildred. Anyway the saint you were after is St Frances of Rome, officially patron of car drivers because she had an angel to light her way in the dark.

@RevRichardColes Is there a Patron Saint of Speed Awareness Courses and have I been forsaken? My session this morning was cancelled, despite all main routes to the venue being remarkably clear. Had the driving centre had an aga, I would have demanded they warm my cold wet boots!

@lordshaun_ Why are they being ordained at All Souls and not in solidarity with everyone else in the cathedral?

@MPSQURESHI @TheMuslimNews Thank you, I’m very honoured!

@TheMuslimNews @FatherAlan Congratulations 🎉

@churchnw6 Ah, not the St Barnabas I knew when I was Chaplain next door at Worcester College - nevertheless they did produce a female ordinand out of the congregation then - Mtr Wendy Callan, an old friend!

Yeah! Another parish moves into the future

Today’s cartoon. I’m really not anti-monarchy, but I think some questions need to be asked about our democracy. #Coronation2023 #Coronation

@SimonGCutmore Yes, found that a bit shocking!

@NorthStandChat I will be taking my flag

Might take a retro #BHAFC flag to the semi-final. 1/2

@sufiaalam121 @MaiumMiah @THInterFaith Yes, missing you all too! And was very much looking forward to the new Town Hall - no need to cycle right across the Borough - but never got in! 😪

Tonight’s Tower Hamlets interfaith forum was hosted by Deputy Mayor @MaiumMiah which meant 30 plus members had a special tour of the new Town Hall. What a building ! Fantastic architecture with new and old.Happy to serve as chair of the Forum @THInterFaith missing @FatherAlan

@swloncontrol @charliebelllive Really, congregation members have always brought me crucifixes and other items to bless. What is wrong with that. And once you have got there, where do you stop with things you are asked to bless - there are things I wouldn’t, I should add, out of personal line drawing!

@charliebelllive Blessing inanimate objects is bizarre. How will the blessing affect the panels? Improve their efficiency?

It is completely unacceptable for bishops to bless solar panels, for which there is no explicit biblical narrative or warrant whatsoever. This is heretical - we need good differentiation and our own set of bishops and structures to avoid being stained by this kind of sin.

@charliebelllive Look, come on, we bless anything … oh unless we don’t like them. I don’t think I would bless nuclear weapons, but others might. I might bless gay ‘marriages’ but others might not. Speech marks also variable.

@RachelC13077568 @charliebelllive Unfair comparison to what? Wood burning stoves?

@charliebelllive This is an unfair comparison

Today I met Jesus on the Roman Road
