Today and tomorrow the President and Court gather for the annual residential to plan the 2026 programme. Please do pray for them in this work.

Last night Fellows, Members and their guests joined the annual feast to bid farewell to outgoing President, Mae Christie, and welcome incoming President Christopher Trundle and his new court. The former dean of Southwark, Andrew Nunn gave the after dinner speech.

A packed house this evening for Founders Day for a stimulating talk by @RoryStewartUK

And now the beauty of the church at Clonard from which the first peace talks began

Our first stop is in the Shankill area, as our guide explains that the city is still divided - physically - in his research there was agreement there would be peace, but that the walls would never come down.

Good to be back in @CrownBarBelfast for lunch & a @GuinnessIreland before the kick off of @SionCollege study trip to Ireland & meet with some of the other participants. ♥️♥️♥️

We have all made it to Belfast safely, and met the coach. Now our guide from Corymeela prepares to give us a tour of the city before we head to the retreat centre for our afternoon and evening sessions.

Today a group of fellows and members begin a trip to Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Please pray for them as they travel - for their fellowship, learning and experiences.

The Court are working hard on the 24/25 programme.

We are indebted to Dr Naomi Paxton @NaomiPaxton for her illuminating talk on the place of the arts in the suffrage movement - and thank you to the incredible @WiltonMusicHall for hosting us in their gem of a venue

Tonight we gather at the iconic Wilton’s Music Hall, one of the last surviving music halls of the east end for a talk by @AdaCampe ‘s alter ego Dr Naomi Paxton on the suffragettes and the arts.

Tonight is the AGM and annual feast of Sion College, we bid farewell to out going President @AlisonJoyce12 - giving thanks for her splendid presidential year and welcome new court of governors. Beginning with Mass at St Brides at 5:30pm. Then on to Stationers Hall.

Tonight's talk at @SionCollege, hearing about death penalty ministry in Louisiana from Deacon Charles DeGravelles, was one of the most powerful and impressive I have heard. I thank God we do not have the death penalty in the UK and pray for the day it will end.

@frstevenhilton The series of lectures will be produced in a document eventually, yes.

‘The church exists because God exists, the church exists because God has spoken, the church exists because the invitation has been offered’ (Bishop Rowan Williams)

Listening to Rowan Williams on Ecclesiology @SionCollege lecture. His words deep and spirit filled.

Tonight we gather at the Dutch Church in the city. Past president Philip Chester introduces the new series on ecclesiology, given by Bishop Rowan Williams

Fellows and members have enjoyed a stimulating evening at the Oxford and Cambridge Club listening to the excellent @TorinDouglas

Spotted on the way home after a great evening with @TorinDouglas discussing the media, faith and the BBC @SionCollege
