I should be at Mass now, being ashed. Instead I’m in A&E, waiting to find out what damage Covid has done to my lungs. Prayers would be appreciated, please.

Saying ‘for it is shameful for a woman to speak in church’ during evensong in a chapel mostly full of men is quite fun. Especially with my hair in plaits.

I’m currently at a large event with a ‘church’ tent, where I’ve been sitting at a table on my own drinking coffee for 20 minutes, while all of the chaplains have completely ignored me in favour of all the older people who have come in.

There’s obviously no way to tell that I’m an ordinand, so I could be any young person who has wandered in, in search of someone to talk to. How can we claim that the church is actively trying to connect with younger people when they are ignored like this?

After a lot of tests, it looks like I have an infection - either still covid or another chest infection - but all the other tests were clear and there’s no damage to my lungs! I’m now safely back at home, and resting. Thank you all so much for all the love and prayers

I’m delighted to share my ember card for my ordination to the priesthood this Petertide! Please pray for me, and for the people whom I continue to serve.
I will preside at the Eucharist for the first time at 11am on Sunday 30th June, at the Cathedral.

On 20th May 2020 I submitted my dissertation, having written it without access to a library. To celebrate, I had coffee in my garden with my mum, who I lived with. Compared to what most people are tweeting about what they were doing that day, I was very fortunate.

If, for covid related reasons, you’re reading the Gospel from a piece of paper instead of a book, may I suggest that you check what’s on the back of it so that you don’t proclaim that ‘this is the Gospel of the Lord’ whilst holding next week’s calendar out to the congregation?
