@brandrewthomas Thank you, Br. One of our parishioners died as a result of a traumatic and freak accident this week. The whole village is grieving, we are in shock, we feel broken. Blessed are they who mourn, for they will be comforted 🙏🏼

Offering Compline this night for those carrying grief quietly, with no words left for prayer. May God receive even your silence, and hold you gently through the dark.

@Punkdimmitis Amen, Sister 🙏🏼

I'm tired of Kate Botley being rolled out as THE clerical example in the media. Priesthood isn’t a personality contest — it’s a vocation to be held with quiet dignity, healthy boundaries, gentle humour, and professionalism. A sloppy article.

@_DeanAnthony I do this and always get told off! But it feels so much better!

@FatherSJC Happy birthday!!!

@bratmgosb I watched a lot of Louis Theroux last week when feeling unwell—it seemed to help!

Thank you for your prayers, friends. I’m home and resting after surgery. I’ve been told there will have to be another one at a later date, but for now it’s time to rewatch every Louis Theroux documentary ever made.

@FatherSJC @SThomasKT @francesscapage @NJPK83 @matt_j_dobson @MilesAdam23 @saj_anderson Looking forward to returning next year hopefully!!

@stgilescg @frjacknoble Cassock without sleeves @frjacknoble?!

This morning we were delighted to welcome back our #Rector @frjacknoble on his return from his #Sabbatical. Welcome home Jack!

The most Anglican of Prayer Book collects: Peaceably ordered by God's governance, the Church joyfully serves in godly quietness.

The beginning of the Sacred Paschal Triduum

@FatherSJC Wow! This spoke to me❤️

@JoshuaPenduck As a potential Ordinand I have taken up the daily offices for Lent. An interesting insight to what might be to come, considering I have a full time job and do 30+ hours a week for our benefice. The juggle is real.

I wish I had a job which gave me the time to do the daily office, morning and evening, each day. Alas, this is a near impossibility, as I’m a parish priest.

Happy new year all, A few highlights from Saint Thomas this year 1) the altar of repose 2) a partnership with the Bulgarian Orthodox Church 3) a lovely patronal festival 4) a joyful carnival And much more!

@toni_joseph Congratulations! Thanks be to God!

I’m full of joy that this has now been announced. Looking forward to what the future holds. Hope, Love, Peace and Joy. Thanks be to God What great deeds the LORD worked for us! Indeed, we were glad. #Advent2024 #Curacy #Announcement #DeoGratias

@alexdjfrost We have about 3 in various forms at our church and they are used weekly!!

Anybody still using a 1970's hostess trolley at your Christmas Market this year?

#MorningPrayer By our nature, Lord, we are drawn to worship, yet so often we tend to worship that which draws us away from the fullness of life that you promise. Turn our hearts from the idols of self, status, possessions, and power, that we may open our hearts to live your love.

@bcahillnicholls @ClergySupportUK @univofstandrews @NclDiocese @Peterborodio I admit to not knowing enough about her… I'm working on it. But at least I can answer the endless ‘are you related?’ questions now!

@ellenanning @ClergySupportUK @univofstandrews @NclDiocese @Peterborodio Okay this is insanely cool

Packing for the next @ClergySupportUK trip - looking forward to preaching @univofstandrews, visiting @NclDiocese & @Peterborodio, and hoping also that the train journeys allow time to read about my latest obsession, the extraordinary Mary Anning!

A reminder that asking the priest “What does that mean?” is always a good idea!! 🤣❤️
