Great today to see church looking almost ‘normal’ again and for first time in almost 2years to be able to sing without wearing a face mask.

Appropriate for a Sunday I guess. Wordle 253 4/6 ⬜🟨🟩⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟩🟨⬜ 🟩🟩🟩⬜🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Appropriate words from Ps 55 this morning… ‘His speech was softer than butter, though war was in his heart; his words were smoother than oil, yet are they naked swords.’

Putin has now joined the ranks of Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini & Milosevic. A vile dictator desperate for glory but who history will judge as a mass murderer.

@vicarvernon @vahva Indeed but all Bishops know it’s happening and are mostly looking the other way. Seems the CoE would rather pedal legalism than make the wine available.

Mooted the idea of returning to offer of common cup at Communion from Maundy Thursday this year. Still a no from them. Agreed to return to processing gospel, the offertory and kneeling at altar rail though (as stopped this in pandemic).

@vahva I think that many now are and there’s a great Grove booklet setting out the theology and good practice to help us.

@stevemnewbold We tend not to do that in the C of E.

@markspen9999 @NHSConfed Hasn’t this always been the case though?

Following todays announcement by the PM, it really concerns me that as a GP I may see a patient who quite possibly has covid but has no way of knowing that, and then the very next patient I see is on chemotherapy. How can I keep my most vulnerable patients safe? @NHSConfed

@Drew_Mac It’s been good for us to return to in person meetings - there’s so much you can’t pick up on on Zoom but equally if it saves travelling.

Zoom PCC this evening. Will it be the last or do we need to move to a hybrid schedule?

@SimonHarvey153 Or you can just buy them without any mess 😀
