A wonderful pilgrimage & communion at St Piran’s Oratory with the Another Way Community today. Inspired by Celtic Christianity and the Cornish Saints, they’re a welcoming, creative and holy community. And they’re fab! More at anotherway.community @diotruro.bsky.social @trurocathedral.bsky.social

To Menheniot this morning. Outside it is wet, windy and bleak. Inside the welcome is warm, the worship holy and the sense of community strong #lovethelocalchurch @diotruro.bsky.social

This is what it looks like when a church is filled with 15,000 daffodils. I think you’ll agree the result is spectacular! 👏 St Mawgan in Meneage for their glorious Daffodil Festival. Spring is coming!

I am watching the terrible news from Orebro, which is in our partner diocese of Stragnas. All those affected by this senseless violence are in my prayers. Please join me in praying that God’s comfort and mercy will be very, very close to the people and communities of Orebro, Stragnas and Sweden.

Meet St Blaise, who led the procession of light through St Blazey to the church yesterday evening for a festival service in his honour, including the blessing of throats. It was led by 10 year old Daisy, who was the child bishop for the day. Local, intergenerational & joyful! @diotruro.bsky.social
