Enormously grateful to the grieving family who said "yes", and gave a kidney as a gift. Mr Tup now has that kidney after a 10 month wait with no kidneys & dialysis 3x each week. It's given us a Happy Christmas @NHSOrganDonor

Apparently, my ordination as a woman is due to demonic voices influencing the Church of England, & not the Holy Spirit... Which is nice.

No 'Karen', I'm not asking for a Lockdown... I'm asking for legislation to keep masks indoors (like seat belts in cars) I'm asking for a 96% vaccination threshold (like we do for measles) I'm asking for testing (because it's a pandemic, not yet an endemic like flu)

When I was 7 I knew God had called me to Ordination... I laughed! "I'm 7, female, disabled - no" When I was 17 the call was still there... I laughed! "Women can't be priested - no" When I was 18... this happened... I was ordained at 29. God laughed! "Told you" πŸ™πŸ’œ

@RachelCDailey As odd as the fact that Disability Charities don't have disabled Trustees, TV Disability fundraisers/house makeover programmes don't have disabled presenters... Inherent Ableism Patron:client relationships Done to, not done by...

#nwinspire18 New Wine - I love you. I do. But don't begin the 1st session with the words "let's stand". No. Try: " Can I invite you to stand, if that's a helpful posture to adopt..." Or: "it's our habit to stand when sing, but not compulsory!" #inclusion training 4leaders

*whispers* Everyone told: "don't go to a Church building - discipleship & worship at home is vital & valid" Bishops: "Watch me worship in a Church building..." Modelling Church-ianity? Why not practice what's been preached? Mass, at home...

Me to Wee Tup: "one day you'll be too big to sit on my knee for snuggles" Wee Tup: "never!" Me: "what if I get too small for you to sit on my knee?" Wee Tup: "... then you will sit on my knee for snuggles" πŸ’œ

Properly annoyed now by 'Christians'/Church-goers who refuse masks & mitigations with the defence of "God will protect us, we shouldn't live in fear" By all means, if that's your position, feel free to explain to me why...

So it begins.... The number of posts across the social media platforms of priests saying: "this is my last online [preach/service] as I'll be back in the [church/chapel/cathedral] next Sunday - thanks be to God" πŸ€”

Dear Bishops, Clergy, Leaders, Wardens No public worship means no public worship Don't look for irresponsible cavalier loopholes ("priest says Prayers/Mass, people welcome but stand apart...") That undermines everything. Lead. @churchofengland

A peal of bells, ringing Double Oxford Bob Major, to mark the end of my time as Vicar here (5 years). Final service is 10:30am Sunday 6th January - Epiphany. Mixed feelings tonight... New challenges ahead!

New car!!!!! (To replace the one written off by 'under an influence' gentleman driving into mine at 3am Sat 10th April...) Motability, RSA Insurance, and Scott at Citroen Banbury have got me back on the road, and my independence is returned πŸ™‚
