A fellow Christain has told me that I am 'less than' and should repent or resign my orders.

bishops, do you see how your choices give bigotry its permission.

To remove clerical wear, vestments, mitres, and cassocks only seeks to make the clergy invisible, known only to those already within their congregations. Thus, forsaking the unique calling of the CofE to be a church for all people. The idea is virtue signaling at is finest 👎

I glimpsed a true vision of the kingdom today during the community cafe. Church people, non church people, queer people, trans people, homeless people, all mixed together in joyful harmony in the Church as our teenaged organ scholar played. It brought a tear to my eye.

Celibate gay Christians arguing that the prayers of love and faith endanger them, need to remember that the calling to celibate life will be part of the pastoral guidance. Attempting to enforce your celibate calling on all gay people is dangerous!

Dear Friends, on the 24th of June, if God be willing and pending my meeting with the bishop, I will be ordained to the priesthood at Bath Abbey.
So I ask you for your prayers, and if you wish to have an ember card, please DM me your address.

Sophie Clarke's claim that she is seen as 'not fully human' because she is waiting for marriage is one of the most insulting things so far. Her argument that we cannot endorse same-sex marriage because it nullifies her choice to wait for marriage is nonsense!

on repentance. Her part in the 'Beautiful Story' and other damaging materials to LLF and LGBTQ+ persons make clear that she is not sorry for the hurt she causes, made even worse by her comparison of same-sex couples with polyamory.

Celibacy is a mighty calling and one that few are called to. Do not be convinced by a conservative mythology of victimhood. The people in true danger are the LGBTQ+ people that are not called to a celibate life and face loneliness, rejection, and abuse because of it.

A different Maundy Thursday for me last night. A shared meal with readings and then communion. It was a lovely Agape gathering and it was very moving. Pagens, Christians, and atheists all gathered around a table in God's house to break bread.

"No space for homosexuals in Uganda" this is the cost of the theologically sactioned homophobia within the church. It is time to call it what it is....hatred, prejudice, and discrimination.

Following a tragic funeral of a young man, I went for a walk with the dog. I found new life in abundance: the most perfect lamb I have ever seen, new plants for the garden. Life from death, joy from sorrow, mourning into dancing. I took this picture along the way. Much Grace.

The Glastonbury pilgrimage takes place this weekend. Saturday with the Anglicans and Sunday with the Roman Catholics.
I do wish we could find space for a more inclusive vision of these days. Perhaps an SMMS + SCP led pilgrimage??? Who knows.. maybe I'm dreaming too big.

Patience is not a gift that comes naturally to me. Over the years, the Lord has found ways to teach me patience. Sometimes, these lessons have been subtle. At other times, they have been obvious. Meet Patience, the hoover asigned to me this week at Taize.

People's lack of patience this time of year is really disheartening. The number of people who have felt justified in throwing abuse because I have not been able to respond to them immediately is shocking. Heads up, folks, the clergy are very busy, be nice, we are trying our best

name on this. It is of the upmost importance that the church stands by its commitments to the LLF process. It is also important that LGBTQ+ clergy no longer need to live in fear and uncertainty at the hands of the church they long to serve.

How do you carry a community in grief, we you yourself are grieving. How do we stand up and be a person for others when we are exhausted. How do I continue to carry my cross, whilst still weeping for Lazzurus. Only with God, only in prayer, only by Grace.

Your vocation as a celibate queer person is not invalidated by the church's recognition of the vocation of other queer persons. Your vocations is still valid and cherished. I pray the pastoral guidance will make this abundantly clear. There is room for all and their vocations.

It has more to do with human beings than it does with religion. More people than not have a religious world veiw. So the assumption that atheism is the progressive way forward is insulting as well as inaccurate. Look at the secular west, still plenty of blood shed.
