Enjoy cosy mysteries? I have a book out... #Fiction #Manchester amazon.co.uk/dp/B0DW91C2BZ

This is a matter of discipline and the bishops have it in their power not only to resolve this, but to stop looking quite so silly. The current position is objectively ludicrous and cruel in equal measure. No more theology – it’s time for action, instead. viamedia.news/2025/05/12/we-…

Whose idea was it to make the Titanic exhibition ‘immersive’?

Enjoyed my talk on the Bible and sexuality at @ManCathedral tonight. Hope the audience did too!

H/t to Moira Donegan at the other place.

At times I moan about Britain but at least we’re not at the stage of kidnapping people off the street and selling them into slavery for hard labour based on ‘vibes’.

@TheJupitersays @NicholasElder18 As far as I know, the Society isn’t trying to create a third province.

Schismatics going to schism.

"This sort of thing couldn't happen here.... could it?" One reviewer's comment about Surplus to Requirements. Are you sure? #IsleofMan #AssistedDyingBill #assistedliving amzn.eu/d/dKSkQ6I #dystopia #ageism #ableism

@immutablepoet @toadmeister Yes. I live in a Muslim neighbourhood. I used to live by another Muslim neighbourhood. These are not ‘no go’ areas and there is little gun crime. I’m afraid you have been misled by what others have said online.

@Jonathan_Tallon @toadmeister Jonathon, can you offer anything to back up your assertion?

Why is it illegal to burn a Koran but fine for pro-Hamas protesters to destroy a Union Flag? Why is one a "public order offence" and the other not? Because in two-tier Britain the one rule is that you can't upset Muslims. dailysceptic.org/2025/02/24/why…

@immutablepoet @toadmeister Not true.

@toadmeister Well said. The Brits should all acquire firearms for self-defense. It may be too late to deport the Islamic invasion led by your own politicians. From what I’ve heard, many Muslim neighborhoods in the U.K. are full of firearms, and the police are afraid to enter.

I've just finished reading The Magdalene Secret by @Jonathan_Tallon A 'Gospel Mystery' about a missing 1st century papyrus, a fast moving tale based in real life Manchester. Even the buses get a mention and the cafe culture is very detailed. A fun Sunday read. #fiction #mystery

This year's Community Day and Valedictory Service will be a bit special. We'd love to see you. More details to follow.

Must Listen: Ben Lewis unravels the tangled story of a Christian billionaire family, stolen relics, fake treasures and the scholar turned sleuth who exposed the scandal of biblical proportions. Featuring Museum of the Bible Roberta Mazza and yours truly. bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

@IanWebby @TheJohnRylands Thank you - appreciated!

@Jonathan_Tallon @TheJohnRylands Good luck with the novel Jonathan!

Like Manchester? Love the beautiful @TheJohnRylands ? Wish a cosy mystery novel could be set here with ancient documents that go missing? You’re in luck! #Manchester #cozymystery amazon.com/dp/B0DW91C2BZ

In The Magdalene Secret, a cosy mystery set in Manchester, the hero Jake stumbles across a lost papyrus fragment of an ancient gospel. Here’s what it might have looked like. #Cosy #Papyri #LateAntiquity #Manchester #Fiction

@mancmapper @TheJohnRylands Essential - and for everyone who’s ever worked there. Or lived in Manchester…

@Jonathan_Tallon @TheJohnRylands I worked there in the 1980s so a must read for me!
