$NXXT: The Tell - Converts priced at $1.82, warrants at $5.00 → incentive to guide price back to their “control zone.” Probable accumulation $1.55–1.60; near-term magnet $1.82–2.00. Trigger: Volume spike + VWAP > $1.70. Not financial advice—one trader’s view.

A wonderful evening at Stratford literary festival! For those in Wales I’m looking forward to being in Swansea on 12th November to talk about why we need sacred space more than ever.

I think what’s most interesting about this is the way it is reported. An avowedly secular newspaper, which I think even 10 years ago would have not bothered or done so with a sneer, now reports a change in RC doctrine as proper news. Something has shifted.

Nobody knows the Boomer version of the Lords Prayer. Not even Bowie. Urgent message to CofE churches who still use it- change your version to this one now!!

The double speak, the deceit and the gaslighting which proponents of this bill seem willing to engage in to achieve their aims has a name: evil.
Stopping a loved one from ending their life is now 'coercion', according to Kim Leadbeater MP. 🤔

Pleased to say I wrote a review of this excellent book for next month's @TheCriticMag
Just starting @_F_B_G_’s new book while on a week’s holiday. Can’t wait to be In Conversation with him about it at St Bart’s next month. It already has a very Save the Parish feel to it: the power and importance of place to the Christian. These churches *matter*.

Fine- I’ll post my Anglican alignment quiz results, but I’m sad there aren’t categories like ‘content small holding Rector’ or ‘litigious Squarson’. I want to be told I might relate to Parson Woodforde or the Dean of Porterhouse.

Here’s hoping (and entirely confident) that @_F_B_G_ will get a warm and rapturous welcome in the fair land of Wales. If you’re near, go and buy the book - sacred space still matters!
A wonderful evening at Stratford literary festival! For those in Wales I’m looking forward to being in Swansea on 12th November to talk about why we need sacred space more than ever.

FBG makes a powerful point on the social return contributions our churches make. He links to the useful House of Good tool from @NatChurchTrust that can capture & showcase the social & economic value your church brings to its community. @SouthwarkCofE
@churchofengland
I don’t think anything else- in the charity sector or the state- produces this sort of rate of social return. If, as some fear, we are on a precipice and about to follow the tragic example of Scotland re our places of worship, then the social effect will be cataclysmic.

Moving to see these plaques of answered prayer at the shrine in Walsingham. Little ordinary bits of life- exams, sore throats etc.- alongside world changing events like Dunkirk.

Such a pleasure to write for The Big Issue about what I learned in writing Twelve Churches, what churches have to teach us today and why I still can’t resist poking my head into them:

Coming up at St Bart’s next month: @_F_B_G_ in conversation with @WalkerMarcus on his new book, Twelve Churches. Discover the history of Christianity via these churches and explore the question of the importance of space and place to Christians. https://t.co/xBcvw584z6

Members of Congress outperformed the S&P 500 by up to 5% a year, while the average retirement account barely kept up. The rules are tilted in their favor, recent disclosures show a representative moved $3 million in stock just before a critical vote. Meanwhile, everyday
