Bliss!

Widespread media coverage about a recent study suggested over half of Gen Z want the UK to be run by a dictator. But our research suggests it's more like only 6% who hold this view in reality. @bobbyduffy.bsky.social & @pmorini.bsky.social explain why this matters for @uk.theconversation.com ⬇️ 🧵

NEW: Just 6% of Gen Z say they actually want a dictator – not over half, as has been recently claimed. Our study finds only a very small minority of 13-27-yr-olds really feel this way, when their views and interpretations are tested with different questioning approaches 🧵⬇️

Always good to be reminded of this...

"we live with the Five Guiding Principles and it works for us" according to the Archbishop of York. Oh really??? I would suggest that the words 'works' and 'us' are both doing some pretty heavy lifting here! For whom does enshrining inequality 'work'?! @watch-notequalyet.bsky.social

That is a bargain - cheapest I have ever been able to buy it as author and the liturgy chapter may be particularly of interest - some examples of less shaming liturgy and why I don't use prayer of humble access when I preside!
