The man seems determined to stay, though it's clear he can't credibly lead the long-overdue change. No question he's an astute politician and an able self-publicist. These are useful attributes, but not the priority for leading the Church today.

"I do not think it's appropriate for the Archbishop of York to be in post." The Rt Rev Helen-Ann Hartley, Bishop of Newcastle, tells #R4Today she does not think Stephen Cottrell should 'be leading change that the Church needs at this time'.

The Archbishop of York has blamed employment law for issues surfaced by @BBCfileon4. He's claiming plausible deniability. An honorary canon (and serial bully) I experienced was protected and enabled by his oversight of Chelmsford Diocese. Denial, yes. Plausible, no way.

I'm grateful for Justin Welby's belated recognition of his culpability and that of the hierarchy of the Church of England. My experience of the present Archbishop of York, when I overlapped with his time in Chelmsford, gives me no hope for reform from within. Change must come.

It's been a long while since I was here regularly. After all the controversies, is this a good place to be?

I posted a human (me!)-written poem, with my AI-assisted art, in the wrong place. But the response was so moving and affirming that I'm putting it here too, which is a lot more public and a lot more scary. The Bible reference I'm riffing on is here: biblegateway.com/passage/?searc…

Watching youtu.be/YVZkgdt32u8?si… has my heart racing. My own experience of a church minister, known as a serial bully, both tolerated and enabled by three rungs of senior Anglican office holders, will never leave me.

@AnnaRowlands1 #BBCR4Sunday you say earlier in your life you were 'not allowed' to enter any CofE church as a Catholic. Totally untrue & how would anyone in there know the nature of your faith?

@churchofengland Oh, and don't get me started about the PDF! Did anyone think, let's put _one_ page on each page, because who knows, maybe someone might want to _read_ this? Apparently not! #grumpy

The @churchofengland report "Care and Support Reimagined" is a missed opportunity. As a minister, I'm being nagged without being helped. As an innovator, I see the usual nonsense - here are some case studies, here's a top-down view, here's the buck being passed. #fail

@petersuhm Is that even a thing nowadays? I feel like the tectonic plates have shifted on the globe of business information and processing. CRM was revolutionary dumbware, pulling info from clever but isolated systems into one place. Now everything clever integrates, so who needs more dumb?

Great news for fans of The Pitch, and the "Pitching The Pitch" podcast episode is unique and unmissable. This show is a must-subscribe for anyone on the #Startup trail. And this is so much more than just a reboot. Congratulations @joshmuccio and @muccio_lisa! Amazing job!
Josh Muccio@joshmuccio

Today is a special day for me and @muccio_lisa. For the first time in almost two-years, we published a new episode of @thepitchshow. And in what is probably the most meta thing ever, we pitched The Pitch, to the investors on The Pitch 🫣 Yeah, we were sweating bullets 😅 (cont.)

@JoVertigan Very quiet. You missed a bit of lightning. Harry and Paul are about to be back together on TV. Cooking oil has gone up in price. That's all I've noticed.

@LockFarm There's an inalienable human right (I read somewhere on the interwebs) to be angry. Failing to provide me with a suitably attack-worthy PM is a direct assault on freedom itself. To the virtual barricades, one and all. Fight for the right to parody!

@changingworship @thebassplayeruk I've always enjoyed songs with geographical specificity. The way to Amarillo. Sunshine on Leith. Plaistow Patricia. So I'd definitely go for Walton-on-the-Naze, home to one of my very favourite piers of the realm.

Looking for a fresh rhyme for “praise”. So far I am most inclined to go with @thebassplayeruk’s suggestion of either “hollandaise” or “cliches”.
