It is a great privilege to have been invited to be Doug’s chaplain as he takes on the role of @HighSheriffWM24. I’m looking forward to sharing in what promises to be an exciting year ahead. It’s unlike me not to have taken photos, but there will be more to follow.

Today we welcomed students and staff from @BVGS1527 Bishop Vesey’s Grammar School as they celebrated Founder’s Day. Theme this year was ‘One World’. Here are head girl, head boy and the president of the School Council laying flowers on Bishop Vesey’s tomb. #RoyalSuttonColdfield

Almost half of under-18s are waiting for three months for eating disorder treatment. The Children's Commissioner is calling on the Government to "focus on tackling some of the potential drivers of disordered eating”. This mental health crisis needs urgent attention.

Just finished #DeathInTheParish. Heartbreaking end 💔 The descriptions of the CofE are beautiful throughout. My favourite line involves the comparison of snails making love and having a faculty granted. Thanks @RevRichardColes for the laughs and solidarity! #lifeinthecofe

Often, particular social media platforms portray the happiest moments of life. However, we rarely see the hardest moments and I’m pretty sure we never see the boring moments. Never let the life of those who post determine how you view your own life. Focus on the real #reallife

Today has been full of worship, praise and celebration. The service at @StPeters_SC was full of joy and worship of the King of kings. We continued our celebrations with Prosecco and cake. 1/2

The day ended with Choral Evensong at @bhamcathedral, which included a beautifully weaved sermon by the fabulous Canon Dr Mark Pryce. The music was extraordinary, hearing Zadok the Priest was a spine tingling moment. 2/2

Today the King will be given the Crown Jewels, worth something like 5 billion pounds. But first he is given the Bible: “the most valuable thing this world affords” #Coronation

We do need to break the lonely silence that sometimes surrounded conversations about #singleness #livingsingly Experience of choices & circumstances not just calling; the hopes & disappointments; and ways of holiness as life long journey of faith #LoveMatters
Lots of the pain of this is wrapped up in the lonely silence of it, so I’m going to be brave. For me singleness speaks first of scars and circumstance and not of choice, and it doesn’t immediately feel very holy. So can we stop posting that quote from Love Matters w/o context /1

Anyone else listening along to @ThisisDavina and shouting, “Yes, Yes, YES”? Crying one minute, laughing hysterically the next? No, just me? Sisters, try it! #menopausing #lifesaver #truthtelling #audiobook Thank you, Davina ❤️
