@DrDavidPrice He said he was going to sue me and sent a load of threatening messages and emails when I said he “purported to be a bishop”. A tragicomic masterclass in embitterment and insecurity.

he was literally cumbrian

POLL: St Patrick was a Romano-Britain! He was from an unknown Bannavem Taburniae according to his own writings (his Confession). Which country do you think he was born in? England, Scotland or Wales?! #StPatricksDay #LáFhéilePádraig #FairyTaleTuesday 😇☘️🔥🐍🏴🏴🏴

@2D0XPS Whenever I read his posts I have to charitably assume that they are the result- as his surname suggests- of the blood taking that bit longer to get to the brain.

Even your most iconoclastic Protestant does not consider the scissor arch to be a “theological obscenity”. I'm all for a bit of polemic, but can we agree to stop lying about each other?
Fr. Dwight Longenecker@dlongenecker1
@the_culturist_ Protestantism considered such things to not only be irrelevant, but a theological obscenity. People build according to their beliefs.

IMHO 10.58 into @jamesmacm Miserere is one of the post powerful moments in western music.
Don't believe me, have a listen!

@liturgicalben I always wonder how J&M or others deal with people like this when they put in their order for all the episcopal bling they can.
English
Is this man even a “bishop”? Hard to throw ‘Sedevacantism’ around with any degree of sincerity when an ad for ‘episcopus vagans’.
Bishop Ceirion H. Dewar FSHC@BishopDewar
The throne of Augustine stands empty. Canterbury — once the beating heart of Anglicanism — now trembles under theological revolution. But the Church of Christ has survived darker nights. This is a call to faithful Anglicans everywhere. The fight for the soul of our Church has begun. “The Chalice of Canterbury…” Read it here: @bishopdewar/note/p-190181006?r=2g4l1o&utm_medium=ios&utm_source=notes-share-action" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">substack.com/@bishopdewar/n…

Today is the anniversary of the creation of the first Duke of Lancaster, in 1351.
Liverpool remains part of the ceremonial county of Lancashire, so this morning we hoisted the Duchy banner in the churchyard, flying by the Mersey.

@DrFrancisYoung @LucySixsmith My Father was an undergraduate in Cambridge during the Big Freeze of '62-'63 and had a friend who planned to ice skate to Ely along Cam but hadn't figured for the warm water outflow from the power station.

@LucySixsmith I lived in Ely for years and always meant to walk to Cambridge, but never managed any further than Soham

For years I've been meaning to walk from Cambridge to Ely, and finally I did it

My favourite Robert Duvall character - Boss Spearman in 'Open Range' (2003). The passing of a way of life, male friendship, and old school loyalty in changing times

@liturgicalben @liambeadle Have you noticed that official government announcements seem to do the same.

@liambeadle Vibes. Pure vibes. Show them a decent hymnal and explain that there are reasons why you left justify.

@northumbriana @northerncurio I approve this message! And as I like to remind my colleagues from Durham - at least Cuthbert visited Carlisle.

@northerncurio One of the finest cathedrals in these islands too

Heavens above! Carlisle Cathedral is a bit special ✨

Make Carlisle the new capital. A truly archipelagic, British city.
Sam Bowman@s8mb
The president of the Royal Institute of British Architects @CW_Architect, best known for lobbying for laws requiring builders to pay an architect to approve their projects, has called for a giant high speed railway line to be built connecting Dublin, Bangor and Newcastle. “Maybe I have been too influenced by … NEOM the Line in Saudi Arabia, having worked on the high-speed stations running alongside the 170km city for the last few years,” he says.

@RARoberts1958 @BijanOmrani Good for reading books not emails!

@revbcarter @BijanOmrani Goodness that’s a VERY long journey !

Some apt and sound reading as I travel to Exeter for the Northern European Cathedrals Conference

@michael_merrick It's interesting how these often aren't simply irrational responses to difference, local or otherwise, but drawn deep histories. There are, for instance, two villages in Herefordshire which remain diametrically opposed based on the positions they held in the Civil War.
English
contemporary insistence that we're inclusive and diversity is our strength struggles to explain the almost universal levels of hyperlocal xenophobia and the extensive catalogue of insults we generally have for the people living in the village 3 miles away

I spent three years at Norwich like 25yrs ago and still to this day have a completely irrational dislike of Ipswich. Also Darlington, for similar reasons. And yet this seems like a completely normal position to hold. I do love this country.
