For those who find Christmas hard. I may live on until I long for this time In which I am so unhappy, And remember it fondly. — Fujiwara No Kiyosuke translated from the Japanese by Kenneth Rexroth

Been off Twitter a while. Hello. Today is the shortest day. The corner turned.

‘You’re just like your father’ – a fitting legacy from a fine Methodist …hodistnewsletterireland.wordpress.com/2016/12/29/you…

@SallyAnneHuang Excellent I knew you would love it. Thanks for having me.

This is utterly abhorrent and has echoes from history that I find chilling. As a lawyer and as an employer I will refuse to comply with it.

@SallyAnneHuang how did net ball go?

@SallyAnneHuang PS v happy if so!

@SallyAnneHuang just checking re Saturday I've been advised to speak for 5 minutes in response. Is that only what I'm expected to do?

@Whirrednerd congratulations .... Lots of love Mark and Judith

@rach_dunn Brilliant! Well done! Bit tense at the end.

@rach_dunn just bought Sky day pass - cheering very loudly for Surrey Storm.

@DrNickBailey excellent

@charityhamilton @herdyshepherd1 or more specifically it is the leg eating furry one. Was it walking along or on that leaf?

@Ondergard ahh perhaps not think St Delia

@charityhamilton @herdyshepherd1 its a furry one. I think I used to know! I'll have a think.

Amazing Baptism by full immersion at Epsom. God bless Jennifer and her lovely family.

Blocked by @RevJarelRB? It would be good to have a more open conversation. I fear use of 'priest' arriving through practice not debate?

@RevJarelRB @dave42w @revdenharding I don't think titles should be 'our choice'. They are given within a particular community.

@revdenharding I also have a problem with 'Father' or 'Mother' because it can elicit the child in the other. Jesus forbids it for a reason

@revdenharding I also have a problem with the word 'Father' because it might imply we are 'priests' which our deed of union says we are not.
