This has been another great Windsor experience. I feel so fortunate to be a double alumna. I highly recommend these programmes and do remember for faith leaders bursaries are available

A precious few days with @windsorleaders - so much to consider and pray about as we head in to Holy Week

As I head to @windsorleaders for the Women in Leadership it’s great to see two Windsor alumni supporting another alumna at her enthronement as Archbishop of Canterbury!

Hope loves sniffing out squirrels in church!

@SgtMajFrenchie @Kirky_Kirkwood So pleased to see you back

‘I hear you were hacked, Sergeant Major.’ ‘Yes, Sir.’ ‘And you lost all your followers?’ ‘Yes, Sir.’ ‘Hard to take.’ ‘Most of them were Army officers, Sir, so I really didn’t mind.’ @Kirky_Kirkwood #hacked #horses

Some are putting out a story that Sir Rich Knighton (CDS) should resign over recent events in Cyprus. Some say he’s lost the confidence of the PM, some say an RAF officer can’t appreciate the Navy’s capability and some say he is not a warfighter. Let’s address each in turn: 1/12

The older I get, the more I realise that the moments I felt closest to God were never on the summit. They were in the valley. Cold, broken, asking for help. That's where He meets us.

Wogan: "They don't seem to make any concession to the fact that you're a woman." Thatcher: "No. Why should they? I don't make any concession to the fact that they're men."😂

To mark #IWD2026, our CEO Jo Youle OBE shares a personal reflection on leadership, legacy and the women who help us find the courage to do things differently. A thoughtful read inspired by this year’s theme hashtag #GiveToGain. Read the blog: lnkd.in/eaAeY9im #Leaders

I’m pleased to be joining this programme. 2 years in to my current post, 10 years of this journey, it’s the right moment to pause, reflect on the barriers & enablers women encounter in leadership, and grow in confidence & resilience alongside a diverse group of senior women.

Out of ten men, one makes a sexual joke at a woman, two laugh, three fake a chuckle to fit in, and four stay silent. None of them speak up. Later, nine of them still believe they're the "good guys." But from the woman's perspective, the laughter, the silence, the looking away, it all creates the same environment. So when women say"most men are the same," this is what they mean: not that every man harasses women, but that most men help protect the system that does.

@AcademicAgent_X This has been the case for Ministers of Religion for years with HMRC. We need particular software or we can submit a paper version by October. It’s why so many of us use accountants who specialise in clergy tax and take the financial hit.

I'm absolutely appalled by the fact that HMRC now requires COMMERCIAL software to fill out tax self-assessment. What's wrong with Excel? Or how about offer it from the Government website? What a disgusting decision by the government. So angry.

@MadsDavies There was an update on the BBC at the end of the 6 O’clock news

The Archbishop of Canterbury has suspended the Bishop of Lincoln from ministry, while a complaint to the National Safeguarding Team is investigated. His predecessor was suspended for 20 months in 2019 over the handling of a safeguarding disclosure churchtimes.co.uk/articles/2026/…

Today, as Lent begins, I’m sending my best wishes to Christians in the UK and around the world. As you follow Christ’s example of sacrifice and renewal, you embody the spirit of public service that strengthens our communities. Thank you for all you do.

@TheWomanfredi @_F_B_G_ Of course there’s a gif!

@_F_B_G_ @RevLauraBH Came here to say exactly this: Management speak. They don’t want a priest, they want JR Ewing. Unfortunately, they’ll probably get Ian Beale.

I’m sorry but only a psychopath would apply for this job:

@_F_B_G_ I don’t disagree!

@RevLauraBH It sounds pretty bad if you’re not called to be a mini bishop with a vocation expressed entirely in management speak, which is all I can see from that advert.

Very worrying news about the new measles outbreak. It flairs up every year. I’ve taken two funerals of very young children who died from this horrible disease in the last 10 years. Please, please get your children vaccinated.

The autistic experience of noticing patterns that you find concerning, but questioning whether you need to be concerned or whether you’re overthinking or looking too deeply into them, because you’re used to spotting issues before other people do, but you’re also used to being told that you’re worrying about nothing.
