@MIGHTYSPURZ We have to.

I still believe we will turn this around ,do you ? #THFC

Of the two things I was shouting for today, at least Man City delivered. Busting a gut for #coys was the really important thing, though. Thanks to all the fans who did turn up and show our support for this club that we love so much, despite it all.

@WalkerMarcus @Make_it_Raines Or the Michaelmas ordination where the ordinands processed in as we sang "Who are these like stars appearing?"

@Make_it_Raines Better than “here I am, Lord”

I really really wish we didn’t have to have St Patrick’s Breastplate as the opening hymn for every ordination in America

SHOW UP - SING UP - STAY UP Save our Tottenham, together we can make a difference for the players, & keep our club up. Be in that number !!! This Sunday 1130am Between The Bricklayers & Sonny's mural. Together - Come On You Spurs!! #THFC #SPURS #COYS #TOTTENHAM

MY MESSAGE TO SPURS FANS FOR SUNDAY This is not about the owners, their lack of ambition with anything to do with the word football, whilst they maintain the ability to promote the money-making best stadium in the world. This is not about the questionable choice of management staff, or the frustration of selling our top scorer at the start of the transfer window and denying the team a replacement. This is not about having one of the best players of all time rise through the ranks, only to be treated with a lack of ambition from those above him, or sacking the only manager in 17 years who brought us success. This is not even about the fan you have a row with each week over the starting 11, or the fan who watches the game through his phone rather than enjoying the moments that come and go. This is not about the world media wanting us to be relegated just so they can make their money through content, or the long list of previous managers who are very quick to point out where Tudor is going wrong. This is not about being for or against a drummer in the crowd, or whether the trumpet player is a welcome addition to the atmosphere or just a nuisance. And this is not about the broken promises, the years of pain culminating in the best day of our lives, only for the pain to return in abundance shortly after. This is about the badge, the glory, the Lane; old and new, the fans, the football club's integrity, the motto. Everyone else is a custodian of this great football club. The fans and the cockerel we wear with pride on our chests remain the one constant; win, lose or draw. This is about showing those players we believe in them to save us from the unthinkable, and if they believe in us too then they can hold their heads high, knowing they gave us fans all we ask for: 100% commitment and to play the Tottenham way. So on sunday, please do all you can to get to the ground early. Wave those flags, sing those songs. Forget everything that needs to change about this club and remember that the problems will come and go - but the fans will never, ever go away. This is about unity, togetherness and belief, through the good times and the bad. This is about: Tottenham Hotspur

@Rgt71Robert @MikeLawlor17 I'm not aware of any discrimination. I am aware of some members of the HoB and GS attempting to move the CofE into heterodoxy. But you know what I think!

@MikeLawlor17 @petespurs Indeed so. Pete!?

“In 2018, he became vicar and resource church leader at St Thomas and St Luke’s in Dudley, known as "Top Church." I am more sort of a Broadchurch versatile person myself! But everyone to their own ecclesiological predilections. #Echobox=1773055659" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">falmouthpacket.co.uk/news/25919441.…

@WalkerMarcus @OSacrumCorIesu universitychurch.ox.ac.uk/content/what-c…

@OSacrumCorIesu There actually is a later catechism that’s still officially authorised and comes, I think, from the 1980s.

Anyone want a PhD? The liturgical resources are already there. So there is simply some work to systematise sufficient that a catechism is developed. The ACNA catechism provides a decent framework.

@Rgt71Robert @churchofengland There is a long tradition in evangelical Anglicanism of sober theologically based teaching on the whole of scripture, including the mysterious. Me thinks you do protest in a very partisan way.

I always enjoy reading Graham Tomlin. Essentially he is the more acceptable voice of the theology that actually a lot of of us are critical about in the modern @churchofengland of charismatic evangelical church planting and the whole HTB movement. But this piece lacks real wrestling with real human death at all or any deep reflection on the paschal mystery of God’s solidarity in Jesus Christ with human suffering and death. Apparently Christianity changed how we see death because of the resurrection, the martyrs, relics under altars, and churchyards full of the communion of saints. Quite right. Which does raise an awkward question. If the dead remain part of the Christian community, why do so many fashionable church-planting networks behave as if the Church only really begins at about age twenty-five and ends somewhere around the first grey hair? In much of historic Christianity you literally walk through the graveyard to get to church — a weekly reminder that the Church is not just the bright, young, and platform-ready, but the whole communion of saints: the living and the dead. In much of contemporary metropolitan church culture you walk through a coffee bar and into a warehouse. One forms Christians who remember they will die. The other sometimes feels like it is trying very hard to forget.

@Rgt71Robert @churchofengland I suspect that you are becoming a little preoccupied with using every article you repost as a stick with which to beat charismatic evangelicals, often without any evidence. It's not my experience that that end of the Church lacks any sense of mortality.

@WalkerMarcus The first one is crafted as though they had appointed Basil Fotherington-Thomas to the Liturgical Commission: "Hello birds, hello trees, hello life-birthing God"

If I am present when one of these horrors is used, I promise you I will bring the case to the Court of Ecclesiastical Causes, Reserved myself.

@GaryWaddington Diocesan Bishops have no right to insist on your attendance at a service. They can require you to do CME and Ministerial Review (unless you still have freehold). But this is exceeding his/her authority. Tell the Bishop to sling his/her hook.

Hmmm. Diocesan Chrism Mass attendance return. "If not [attending], please note that apologies must be sent in writing to Bishop..." I'm immensely uneasy with the implied sense of attendance at worship being made 'compulsory'. Surely easier to just have a 'No' box.

"Test the mind of Synod" - bit of light relief for all those who've sat through the Proceedings of the last week... youtube.com/watch?v=ehHudU…

@MoTrudel Indeed. And not being held accountable.

@petespurs There are plenty of others at large still in plain sight!

Good riddance to Mandelson. He's always been poisonous. Why on earth anyone was ever taken in by him is utterly baffling. Like Johnson, it was all in plain sight.

Candlemass service at S Mary Willesden @shrineofmary at 10.30 am. A welcome to all as we commemorate Christ presented in the Temple.

@PhrancisMartin @ChurchTimes Go well, and thanks for all the good and informed reporting.

After four fascinating and fulfilling years at the @ChurchTimes, I'm leaving in a couple of weeks for pastures new. Or, to be more precise, a whole host of new pastures, on the other side of the world... You can find out more on my newly (re)launched blog: odessays.substack.com/p/departure

Huge happy 80th birthday to the legendary @DollyParton 🎉- we are marking it with a parody of her 2nd number one hit, written by the @BeeGees. Our 🎶 version's called "Donald's Sewage Stream" - since he brought his sick drivel to #Europe #Davos #NATO & our #armedforces this week

@TheWomanfredi @MadsDavies Distinctly more nourishing.

@petespurs @MadsDavies I was thinking more of jumping on the pumpkin spice thing.
