Mark Carey

It is with heavy hearts and profound sadness that we announce the passing of Andrew Carey, the last editor who served from 2020 to 2025. His loss has been felt keenly and our thoughts and prayers are with his family at this time. Taken far too soon. RIP @churchofengland

Every UK bishop should be duck-taped to their thrones and made to read this by @moveincircles and understand why the @churchofengland is struggling to make headway even as a religious revival is occurring  @UnHerd unherd.com/2025/04/the-ag…

My mum is dying. She has dementia with Lewy bodies. I’ve been by her side for almost 6 days continually. I’m struggling as it’s been so long. I just want her to at rest. Lord have mercy.

I love this!

Had a lovely time seeing in the New Year with my parents - I love and admire their graciousness and faith

Enjoyed another Brid Panto - well done to the cast and especially Troy Harris who brings the fun!

@holydisrupter @IrreverendPod @JamieFranklin40 @thomaspelham2 Thank you… but really? Tradition? 🤦‍♂️

This is not a maths problem. It’s the tradition of the universal Church for (a) bishops to be ontologically bishops until death (b) for bishops to have a teaching ministry. (C) They have authority in faith and morals. (D) therefore they cannot by the nature of (c) have private theological opinions .

New episode available now: Gavin Williamson says remove bishops from the House of Lords, Wes Streeting says no to assisted suicide whilst former Archbishop promotes it. That and much more as ever! irreverend.buzzsprout.com/1303861/episod… @JamieFranklin40 @holydisrupter @thomaspelham2

@JamieFranklin40 @IrreverendPod @holydisrupter @thomaspelham2 He doesn’t officially speak for the CofE.

@markjcarey1 @IrreverendPod @holydisrupter @thomaspelham2 What difference does that make?

@holydisrupter @IrreverendPod @JamieFranklin40 @thomaspelham2 Hmm not sure about that - show me your working out!

@markjcarey1 @IrreverendPod @JamieFranklin40 @thomaspelham2 What I’m saying is that as a bishop (that is his office for life) he doesn’t have “opinions” in the normal sense. Part of his sacrifice at ordination was to give that up.

@holydisrupter @IrreverendPod @JamieFranklin40 @thomaspelham2 Maybe. Just trying to flag that you can still have opinions & that’s okay- I don’t necessarily agree with him but I respect his opinion.

@markjcarey1 @IrreverendPod @JamieFranklin40 @thomaspelham2 I’m not sure I see the distinction here? He remains a bishop of the church though, so even as retiree his voice is more than just a member of the Lords.

@BpBarryOfWhitby @DioceseOfYork Lovely seeing some CCBN people there!

New book time. I’ve been looking forward to this from @richjcrobbo - am in Northumberland amidst atrocious weather so lots of reading time!

@richjcrobbo Looking forward to my copy arriving today, I hope!

The day after “launch day” - reflecting on a big day yesterday. Thankful for many messages of encouragement from friends as we launched the book onto the world. Praying the book is a blessing to many…..

@AlexAbsalom Such good news!

Good news!! Good news! Good news! I went back to my doctor at UCLA (who first found the cancer) and he said that he can’t see any sign of cancer! 🙌💪🔥 We are SO thankful to God! We are thrilled with this report - God is so good! 🔥

@revbarryhill @premierleague Excellent result - enjoy the victory feeling until next Saturday when the mighty Arsenal come to play!
