My long read on our new Archbishop of Canterbury. A keen reformer of structures who has compared the Church to her time in the NHS. ‘I have tried to find this same accountability in the Church, but it does not seem to exist.’ https://t.co/Xjkrs16Nb2

Imagine if Pope Francis had been asked about this on one of those plane trips with journalists 😬

In 2013, Dr. Kate Granger initiated a campaign advocating for healthcare professionals to introduce themselves to patients. While this may appear straightforward, and I've encountered the sentiment that it's an oversimplification or already standard practice, my personal

Peter Collier KC, former Chancellor of Diocese of York, writes this week against the proposed reforms, on our letters page https://t.co/PqTdkcxLt6

Charles Wide KC, a former judge at the Old Bailey and a Reader in the Church of England, said that no colleague had identified jury trials as the key to resolving the backlog.

Re: reforms to trial by jury. +Gloucester has drawn attention to the 2017 Lammy Review on treatment of BAME individuals in the criminal justice system. And: "Victims face agonising delays; so do the accused, who are innocent until proven guilty." https://t.co/VgzW3E7Nzj

Female bodies are capable of amazing things male bodies aren't. Conflating strongest and fastest (in crude sports terms) with "most capable" is patriarchal thinking - as though everything women offer, endure and create is passive and doesn't count

"Research shows 20% of Mumsnet users intend to vote Reform UK in the next election, placing the party ahead of Labour, the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats." First time since poll began in 2009 that Labour has been usurped https://t.co/RVqnITpMtk

JLS, being polite #TheTraitors

@Sacramentrix @MadsDavies Yes! Here in Germany children dressed as kings go door to door, sing us a song, and collect money for charity. We get a sticker on the door though, not real chalk.

The Winchester church’s annual report refers to the case - sounds like a bit of a nightmare 🥶

We covered the Winchester ‘cautionary tale’ in November - the church assumed permission would be granted (perhaps understandably given other rulings) https://t.co/C6UCdkHFDs

I’d be curious to know what the decision would have been had they applied for the faculty originally. A Times investigation found that permission had been granted in nine out of ten cases for parishes to install new fossil-fuelled boilers

@MadsDavies I love doing this! I think I first came across it 12/13 years ago, just before I went to theological college - but a congregant who spent time in various parts of Germany in the 80s/90s recalls something similar and children dressing as kings going door to door.

@MadsDavies A different download here with some freshly written prayers for both church blessing and home use (should you be interested)

‘The new online right has displaced the mainstream right.’

‘I would add that much of the liberal left tends to focus on corrupted or subverted information flows – as if the problem with today’s politics is just a matter of misinformation. It reflects a fundamental misunderstanding of the current moment’

Interesting essay: ‘The left (still) doesn’t understand the internet’ https://t.co/HTNcCbnUpE

Handy guide from St Albans Abbey. I must admit I didn’t know what this stood for and have only ever seen it on Twitter (and once at a theological college)

I knew migration was falling but not to this extent.
