@RevRachelMann Whenever I tweet, I imagine that I’m sitting between my worst enemy and my best friend. It makes me cautious.

Today is Bishop John Armes' last day as @BishopEdinburgh before he retires! We caught up with him one last time to round off over 13 years in post. Good luck, Bishop John, for this next chapter and thank you from us all for your devoted service.

Many warm congratulations to Archbishop Leo Cushley on his 40 years of priestly ministry. It has been my joy to overlap with him for part of this time and to enjoy his episcopal ministry and companionship. May God bless him and keep him for all that lies ahead.
Archbishop Leo Cushley celebrated Mass today at St Mary's Cathedral in Edinburgh in thanksgiving for his 40th anniversary of priesthood. https://t.co/HAXgQJUhXn

Jesus actually starts with the outer circles with most persecuted and marginalised. @JDVance seems to have the Gospel absolutely upside down @RoryStewartUK
@MartineOborne @JDVance @Telegraph @BBCRadio4 @RoryStewartUK By the time Mr Vance reaches the outer circles he has no love left, so he is happy enough to abuse people. This is the difference between him and Jesus. Jesus didn’t run out of love.

“There is room for mercy. There is room for compassion.” Fascinating interview with Mariann Budde on her sermon and her advocacy of universal human dignity.
BREAKING NEWS: Bishop Mariann Budde who challenged Trump says she felt a responsibility to address him. She’s a hero. You have to love MAGA losing their minds over it while they have no problems with Evangelical pastors preaching politics.
