A number of people have asked me how we should engage with the issue of gender identity. As a first step I've written a blog to hopefully give some pointers and initiate a conversation. Please let me know what you think. https://t.co/8mLIbnmKek

For anyone in Kerith who missed the vision night on the 13th June you might not have heard about our elders decision to affirm women serving as elders in our church. I'd encourage you to read my blog giving more details if you'd like to know more. https://t.co/vCysw3AiQ7

For all of you in the UK this is important. Our government is reneging on one of its most important commitments & ppl will die as a result. Theres no either/or between justice at home & abroad @BorisJohnson @RishiSunak @Tearfund

They say there is no “economic need" for the £4bn foreign aid cuts which undermine the UK's credibility.

I’ve just started reading my friend Ian Galloway’s new book ‘Called to be Friends’, exploring John’s Gospel to show how we can become friends of God. I think I’m going to get through a lot of highlighter!

We finished! Catrina’s first ever sub 29 minute 5K. A great job from all the organisers, and hopefully a step towards all sorts of mass events being able to start up. #reunion5k

We were fortunate to have two deaf students study with us for a year which brought to our attention how incredibly hard it is for deaf people to be able to fund their studies with the added support that's required. Our COO has written about this. Please RT. Any ideas welcome.
Until a year ago at WTC, we had no idea just how tough it is for deaf students to study at tertiary levels. “Everything is a battle for us,” one of them told us. Janey, our COO, wrote a blog post on the challenges deaf students face. Read it here: https://t.co/ZrEPRu2YBX

Excited for this tonight. Much to pray about as we begin to come out of lockdown. I’ll see all of you not out shopping, having a haircut or sat in a pub garden at 8pm!
