A Priest's Story | Made in Lancashire🌹
Fergal Harkin. The best interview I have heard for a while. He clearly gets it.

Probably already the best 'signing' we will make this summer. #bwfc

Now that the dust has settled, I can't help but be struck by the joy we witnessed at the Vatican.

I wonder why the Church of England can't manage very much of anything at all on a national level? How long must discerning a new ABC really take?????

So Bolton's season finally fizzled out - as it has been doing for a while. I am more concerned about the lack of effort than anything.

Injuries are one thing, but to roll over in each game is shocking. Have we actually scored first yet against a team, other than Wigan away? #bwfc #wafc #leagueone

@marciles.bsky.social no sign of the Buff on Spotify? I'm having to put the morning on hold 😂

This is just as important to get right as appointing the manager was. Crucial to have a talent brought in. #bwfc

Palace vs Everton is like watching a #bwfc with Super Kevin Davies up front. Huge target, and hope it sticks - if that doesn't work, try again. #crystalpalace #everton

Excellent 2nd half performance from Bolton. Great to see McAtee get a brace - hopefully a bit of confidence for the run in! #bwfc

Neither JD Vance, nor Trump can ever be trusted to have Ukraine's best interests at heart. Zelensky should be very very wary.

This looks shockingly uncomfortable.

This is not exactly ground breaking. Unfortunately, it seems that Synod needed it spelling out.

A debate in the Polish Government banning confessions for under 18s. The sacraments are not safe, even in such a heavily Catholic country as Poland...

Perhaps you didn’t see this lovely short film about John CR, a brother of the Community of the Resurrection (and former tutor of the College), his running, and his fundraising for the Tariro project in Zimbabwe? It’s well worth your time. ✝️⚓️

Clergy colleagues... If your church normally uses worship songs - which might be good ones to use in place of a voluntary at an All Age Eucharist?

Church looked glorious for our 9 Lessons and Carols. Such a beautiful place to worship.

A weekly dose of (largely) #bwfc sanity...

Great news. A little light in the darkness...
A little bit of good news.

Each parish perhaps putting on another service or doing a work of mercy or finding a way to reach somebody forgotten.

That is far too logical. We must remember that no logic has yet been applied in this whole sorry process. He should have gone when he resigned!!
