@revmaryhawes It was a very powerful but upsetting documentary. It must have been really horrible for those caught up in the abuse and manipulation. I think there were many good people drawn in and seriously harmed!

@revmaryhawes There was a house in Shenley when I was the vicar there. They seemed like genuinely nice people, but there was a strange culture which was a clearly controlling, and we felt sorry for the families who had to fit in with it.

@revmaryhawes We didn't see any signs of abuse from the outside, but you can see how easily the power dynamics could be manipulated.

I wonder @churchofengland & @synod ...
Recorded just over a week ago..
Such a devastating loss to our church.

Twitter has become unusable. There are maybe three people I like to check in on remaining here... The rest is advertising, propoganda and misinformation...
Sorry guys. I'm cutting my account right down...

@Rgt71Robert @synod @churchofengland He was a legend! Really sorry to hear this news. He will be greatly missed. Prayers for his family and all those who loved him.

Really saddened to hear of Geoffrey’s death. He was deeply respected @synod @churchofengland for his fine, fair & funny chairing of the difficult LLF debates. His wisdom, charm & humour made these much more bearable for us all right across our broad spectrum. Many prayers for Geoffrey & his family.

Reports reaching me of the death of Geoffrey Tattersall KC - an extraordinary tour de force chair @synod - a kind, wise, funny and erudite man who will be a sad loss to those who knew him, as well as to the wider church.

Hi friends. Just to say, I've been on BlueSky since September. I have been finding Twitter less useful for a while.
I now have more friends on Bluesky than Twitter so might not check in so often.
Sorry not to see you so much, but you can still find me on @timnor.bsky.social

I've been visiting the Panacea Society Museum in Bedford. Amazing place! They have Joanna Southcott's box - contraining prophecies from 1814. They're still waiting for 24 bishops to come and open it. There are bedrooms for each one. Tempting... #CofE

@samhwilson @suffolkvicar timnor.bsky.social - I haven't used it yet but it looks a lot like old Twitter

Ok CofE twitter (or what’s left of it)
Where are people going instead?
Why there?
Will you be leaving twitter open and check once in a while?

Using Christian symbolism or the name of God to justify violence is offensive to everything that Christ stands for.
There is never any justification for this and I urge any Christian doing it to repent.

Getting reports of targeting of mosques in Milton Keynes. This is not reflective of our inclusive and diverse city and I absolutely condemn any violent acts. We are an amazing city and we will not let people that engage in this destructive behaviour damage us #loveMK
