@SimoninSuffolk @DrFrancisYoung She appears in a war memorial window in St Anne's Royton, Oldham, a Temple Moore church.

There was a brief flurry of Anglican interest in Joan in the 1920s, when she appeared in a number of war memorial windows, for example Apethorpe, Northants, by Christopher Whall (left) and one you might know, Great Whelnetham, Suffolk, by Burlison & Grylls (right). Also one at St Sepulchre, London I recall.

English reluctance to venerate Joan of Arc is arguably misguided, given that celebrating Joan simply draws attention to the fact that France could only defeat the English with direct and miraculous divine intervention 😉

Passing the baton!

A joyful and emotional end of year service at @StAnneRoyton for @StAnnesRoyton school as we bid our wonderful Year 6 farewell & gave thanks for Mrs Sue Holt our amazing Headteacher of 18 years. She passed on the baton of faith, hope & love to Mrs Martin & Mrs Henderson.

@stlukesoldham The production was amazing and the children were stars!

Closing night of Peter Pan here at St Luke’s. A full house to round it all off. We are so proud of all our talented children. 💕

A wonderful evening listening to the remarkable @malcolmguite and the bonus of seeing @lizdevall1 for the second time in four days

@jezthomasart So beautiful.

Here's another image from my new series. This is oils and 24 carat gold on cedar. “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it finds fulfillment in the kingdom of God.”... Luke 22: 15-16 Corpus Christi

@jezthomasart Beautiful. I love how the grain of the wood echoes the flame.

A new project has begun… 50 images inspired by the theme of crucifixion and resurrection… (oil on wood) this one represents Pentecost…. The new beginning… lots more to come, I hope you like it

Good to be at @ManCathedral for the Evensong where we gave thanks for the retiring Headteachers and to support Mrs Sue Holt as she prepares for her retirement after an amazing 18 years service as Head @StAnnesRoyton. A beautiful service.

Beautiful light at @ManCathedral this evening .

@AndreaSJones I spy a @jezthomasart notebook!

A trial night spent in my new flat. As I’m returning to my beloved Manchester I expect I’ll look out on a few rainy mornings in the future

@ManDioGF_OADE @StAnnesRoyton @DbeManchester It looks amazing! Thank you for being there.

It was a delight to share the Blessing of the Christmas Tree with @StAnnesRoyton yesterday! We celebrated light and how we can all let our lights shine for the world to see. Advent 1 - Hope. @lizdevall1 you were missed, but doesn't the tree look beautiful?! @DbeManchester

@Revd_Paul_Monk @DioManchester @OADeanery Prayers for tomorrow Paul and for all that is to come in the next few weeks. You will be much missed at Clarksfield and Waterhead.

I've just uploaded this short video which shows images that describe my fifteen years in the parishes of Clarksfield and Waterhead, #Oldham. @DioManchester @OADeanery youtu.be/QsqYmq4HmEM

We have had an amazing day with Mary and @ManDioGF_OADE for our Ethos Day. We have been exploring our core values and how we are 'Growing Together to Flourish in God's World'. We are connected to vine.

What is wisdom? St Anne had wisdom and passed this to Mary so she could say yes to God's request to have Jesus. We thought about how we have wisdom and we wrote prayers to ask for wisdom like St Anne's. @ManDioGF_OADE @DbeManchester @lizdevall1

Whilst listening to Faure's 'In Paradisium', we closed our eyes and thought about faith and painted a picture of what the music made us think of. @ManDioGF_OADE @DbeManchester @lizdevall1

We rock! We are all unique and our decorated rocks show how God made each one of us different. @ManDioGF_OADE @DbeManchester @lizdevall1

We designed our own stained glass windows after being inspired by the windows in @StAnneRoyton. @ManDioGF_OADE @DbeManchester @lizdevall1

We reflected on the life of St Anne and why she is so special to our school. Our bottles help us to reflect about what we are proud of as we watch the glitter float around. @ManDioGF_OADE @DbeManchester @lizdevall1

Our fingerprint crosses helped us to explore love and respect. We thought about how much love Mary showed for Jesus. We will be giving our crosses to someone we love. @ManDioGF_OADE @DbeManchester @lizdevall1
