@GilesUdy @AnglicanFutures @lambethpalace @ArchbishopSarah If you presume the worst of a brother or sister yes it would. If you think the best of them it might look like people saught to stoke outrage to suit their desired narrative surrounding an appointment.

That took long enough. It should have been announced first thing this morning - or even yesterday morning when this story first took off. Good comms shuts these things down straight away. It will now seem to many (rightly or wrongly) that this was a last minute changed forced upon her.

@MatthewPFirth It isn’t mine/ours to lose neither is it anyones to gain. It is deeply sad this language of competition, ownership and division has come into something once literally defined by its unity and catholicity. But that’s the way of the world so inevitable we/the Church would go there

BBC report on the Abuja Gafcon conference that starts today. I might be talking about it on the radio today. Probably starting by explaining what the Anglican Communion/Gafcon is! bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Boxing Day hunts using “trail scents” can sadly be used as a smokescreen for fox hunting. Such CRUELTY has no place in the British countryside. It’s telling how many right-wing NPC politicians rush to defend it. Labour will BAN trail hunting for good to PROTECT wildlife. 🇬🇧🐾

@MatthewPFirth And Matthew, we both know that 15% claim is at best a distorted figure based a MASSIVE assumptions and at worst a lie because it is clearly a statement designed to mislead. Continuing to peddle it does nothing for you or the wider discussion.

@MatthewPFirth As ever, I’m not sure about that. You push that you are an Anglican bishop equal to other Anglican bishops in authority, influence etc. You rarely if ever name the denomination in which you serve and I think that is because its tiny size limits your ability to be taken seriously.

@MatthewPFirth @MadsDavies I had a look @MatthewPFirth and, depending on where you look, it is between 0.004% and 0.01% of UK Anglicans who attend the Free Church Of England.

@MatthewPFirth @MadsDavies What percentage of anglicans in the UK are in the Free Church of England? Just in case you are on to something about relevance, authority, voice and righteousness being linked to relative size and this can be extrapolated into other situations. Just interested.

Downham St Leonard would hold its own on a ‘nicest view on the way out of church’ award. Nice place to preside!

Great week at #KESCON25 enjoying all the convention (and town) faithfully offers - and here we are on the lawn outside the old St John’s vicarage where it all started 150 years ago. @KeswickMin thanks for all you do as volunteers and staff.

@MLorenzoFS @charliebelllive Thanks so much, really interesting. Struck that they shrank by 7% in actual attendees when the CofE shrank by 32% (The Times Nov 2024) & TEC 35% (various) in the same time. Praise God there has now been growth but they are doing better than us in the UK in a number of measurables

@MLorenzoFS @charliebelllive I’d be really interested for the data on this if you have it? Would be really interesting to look at. Where is it from?

@charliebelllive Such a non-event. Evangelical Christianity in Australia is haemorrhaging members after years of telling us they were the solution, they want to reverse the trend. Yet they shrink.

From what I can see @AeroIquitos is living in 2035! “Sir would you like ham, cheese or chicken in your sandwich? Or why not all three!!!” Sometimes you just come across something and realise everyone else has got it so wrong.
