To celebrate LGBTQ+ History Month, and my own tiny contribution thereto, I offer the very kind and extremely accurate Wiki article someone wrote. LGBTQ+ liberation still has a long way to go, and every struggle helps! #lgbthostorymonth en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeremy_...

"Sunset and evening star and one clear call for me..." On my way to evensong tonight at @southwellminster.bsky.social

"Oh, look! There's some long grass!" The lack of leadership in the HoB is a disgrace. Issues 1991 Some Issues 2003 Pilling 2011 Pastoral Guidance 2014 Shared Conversations 2014-2016 Living in Love and Faith 2017-?? I am so disheartened. @churchofengland.org @inclusivechurch.bsky.social

In a Guardian article about new words. Rawdogging (you can guess the etymology) "became a viral TikTok trend in 2024, encouraging people to abstain from entertainment on long-haul flights...in pursuit of mental growth and a zen state of mind. Oh, the irony!!

Why do I feel like I need a shower after spending any time listening to hate, disinformation and bile on X?

On children and church. I raised five, while working as a vicar. Parents and babies/small children need lots of support, and zero criticism. Group activities for smaller members of the congregation in an ancillary room can help for part of the service (if you have volunteers) . However...

The Cake! I always feel ready when this is done, and there is a tin full of fresh mince pies.

Looking out at the cloister garth of Newstead Abbey

William Morris's 'Hare among the Flowers', worked in petit point, and turned into a cushion. I'm rather pleased with how it has turned out. #adventuresinneedlework

Only the second time in my life I have been on horseback. With the exercising racehorsesat Pebbles Bay, Bridgetown, early this morning.

It has been a great privilege and joy to worship with God's people at St James's, Holeton, Barbados - theirs is the oldest church building on the island.

I'm in Barbados this week, with Hephzi and her boys. It is a beautiful experience in many ways!

Marina Hyde skewers Welby - and he deserves it. Read it and weep. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

As @kayaburgess.bsky.social reports: Bishop of Newcastle was "deeply disturbed" by parts of Welby's speech. Said was "unwise to say the very least" "To make light of serious matters of safeguarding failures in this way yet again treats victims and survivors of church abuse without proper respect."

I know this is the 'nice' place, but there is rightly much shock and outrage at this disgraceful self-referential farewell to the Lords by the Archbishop of Canterbury. Nary a thought for the #victims x.com/kayaburgess/...

The fireplace used to have a condemned gas fire. Now we have this #tinyjoys

Today's update...

An embroidery update. Or nué border framed by gold twist. A tracer pattern outlined, the rose petals done in silk shading, and French knots top and bottom. It's coming along!

jeremypemberton.uk/blog-posts/ Why the Archbishop of York should not be coming to Southwell - and why I will not be there when he does.

#anglican #morningprayer Is it just me, or is Daniel and Revelation just TOO MUCH APOCALYPTIC all at once. Who devised this accursed lectionary?

www.thetimes.com/article/6f25... The Archbishop of York is coming to Southwell to take the Diocesan Confirmation on Sunday. I will not go to this service. He cannot lead the change @churchofengland needs.

The lights of evening on the way to Evensong #peace #beauty

Normanton Prebend under snow. I love the way it decorates the wisteria. #Southwell

We can't have a culture change with the current leadership, addicted as it is to keeping control and protecting the institution. www.thetimes.com/article/6f25...
