For me it was second Sunday at St Matthew's Thorpe Hamlet, where I will be based during training. It was their patronal festival, harvest thanksgiving and they had a baptism! The sense of community was really inspiring.

I'm sorry - that's not really helpful. To be honest I think we were encouraged not to think about training too much until after Stage 2, which like yours was quite late. That doesn't leave much time, especially as open days are earlier in the year. I hope yours gets sorted 🙏

Praying - that's really unsettling. I'm also learning these things sometimes sort themselves out for the better in ways we didn't expect

I'm gutted to miss this as I'm on a residential that weekend - if I register will recordings be available?

Last Sunday on the rota for leading music at my sending church, made sweeter and more poignant by a talented viola player who has recently joined 😢

EXCLUSIVE TO ALL NEWSPAPERS

POWDER KEG UK ABOUT TO BLOW UP AS BRITAIN STANDS ON THE BRINK OF THE WHOLE NATION DESCENDING INTO CIVIL WAR

by Our Apocalypse Staff
HELENA HANDCART

THE entire country has turned into a tinderbox, one spark and the whole thing could turn into a raging inferno of hatred and violence. All it needs is one little push - preferably from us - and this once peaceful island will explode.
It may not take much, maybe an article with some badly researched facts, maybe some exaggerated and provocative hyperbole, and before we know it there'll be blood on the streets, and flames too, as millions of furious citizens attack each other, the police, and the emergency services,
not to
mention the armed forces should they tragically be called in to deal with the hate-filled mob rampaging through our cities, towns and villages, armed with burning torches and pitchforks, calling for justice, free speech and the immediate death of everyone they don't like. (Top journalism, Ed).
Make no mistake, if Britain even exists by next week, we will run this piece again until someone sparks the tinderbox on the brink of the powderkeg that... (cont. for entire summer).

I'm over 55 so I can be funded for a 2-year part time Dip HE whether I'm on a stipendiary or SSM pathway and Norwich allows this. At present Norwich doesn't offer the Elizabeth course but some experienced candidates have trained on a one year course. 2/2

Yes, as I understand it there are ceilings for funding training defined at a national level, but within those each Diocese operates slightly differently. 1/2

Nicky Burr @nickycburr.bsky.social · Jul 30

So is that with your Diocese then? I'm also training locally part time at ERMC. If it's the Elizabeth course do you just train for one year given that you're already past Stage 2?

Just seen this Pip - that's fantastic news and I'm so pleased for you!

Do you know where you are likely to train?

Resolution Foundation @resfoundation.bsky.social · Jul 24

🚨 New analysis published today! 🚨

The Government will fail to meet its employment target unless firms recruit and retain more disabled workers.

Read 'Opening doors' here ⤵️ buff.ly/d9KvJpj

Louise Murphy, Senior Economist at the Resolution Foundation, said:

“Much of the debate around supporting disabled people into work has centred on reforming benefits to incentivise employment. But while important, this has neglected an even more central issue – the role of employers in helping more disabled workers to join, remain and thrive in the workplace.

“The Government should do more to incentivise firms to employ disabled people, especially those who have been out of work for long periods. But employers need to do more in return. A new Right to Reintegration could help disabled workers back into work in the same way that maternity rights transformed women’s employment prospects a generation ago.”

Pretty chilled in Norwich too, but that may just be down to the prevailing aroma of weed.
