Parishioner @cestnickell.bsky.social said he'd like an Archbishop to believe in a "truly national church, a service for everyone ... Lots of non-religious people like a sacred space - the music and the culture of the church - but feel they can't go because they don't believe the right things."

I want to honour here the life of Don Cupitt, who died recently. A radical, faithful, courageous, consistent theologian, so helpful to me in earlier years, and to so many others. Memory eternal.
