Fascinating. Another atheist loses their faith. thetimes.com/article/6fde34…

@choIiver Whaaat! This deserves to be a viral tweet Christian…

Nigel Farage being younger than Keir Starmer will always baffle me

Pleased to have my first peer-reviewed article published - looking at the historical & spiritual links between the Salvation Army, @eberhard_arnold & @TheBruderhof in the Journal of Ecclesiastical History - out today. doi.org/10.1017/S00220…

This recent @TheRestHistory series was a favourite of mine - and I’m relieved that @gtomlin’s endorsement means that when I next teach my class on the Reformation it’ll be a sound source to recommend!

A thoughtful article from @samjtomlin in @Christianitymag

Caesar's comet & the birth of Christ... why I don't read the gospel birth narratives the same way I used to. Thread 🧵

…and the evening shift!

@SargeCraig667 @JonBergdahl Yes!

@JonBergdahl Did the guy on the end just join in?

The 8am band on fine form yesterday!

People often talk about the power of @AmazonUK’s algorithms, the way Alexa always knows what you need, and the pointedness of their custom ads. However, here is proof that Amazon isn’t as smart as it’s credited for!

Always good to have the inimitable @nicholascoke firing up the cadets & students at WBC this morning about social justice - what a quote from SA History too! Getting in good trouble…

Jesus rises from his knees and calls his disciples. “Rise, let us be going,” he says, and goes before them—to the Cross. There is the pattern of leadership for the church.

Every leader runs into these circumstances. How they respond when they do has the potential to create extraordinary change.

Private Eye nails it

So much of immigration policy is about optics, populism& politics than actual facts.@BBCNews is reporting that the #BibbyStockholm will cost £6mil per day for 500 passengers when full. That’s £84,000 pp/pw. How is that effective spending? FWIW - a 7 night med cruise is £879 pp/pw

QUESTION - What do you need to do today that you’ve been putting off?

@samjtomlin @edwardsjr03 @WBC_UKT @MissionLatte Some changes for Sept here too…watch this space!

@edwardsjr03 @WBC_UKT Hi Josh, thanks for reaching out. This looks brilliant & very much along the lines I was thinking of. Great to hear this is being pioneered in another territory. Cc @WBC_UKT @callummckenna @MissionLatte

A thread w/ some suggestions to deepen & embed Salvation Army witness & mission from a UK perspective. My own reflections based on first 5 years of officership & speaking with others around territory. Very happy for anyone to constructively & graciously tell me where I'm wrong!

This is really great news…
