Husband, Father, Curate at Holy Trinity Bridgwater and St Hugh’s Durleigh. All opinions are my own

Sat in a cold church watch a filling pool ready for a Baptism tomorrow. The life of a CofE Curate!! 🤣

I have not posted on here for a long time but as we come closer to Advent I feel the need to start posting again. So, watch this space. I shall see how long it lasts before I am too busy to even think about posts!!

364 votes in favour zero against zero abstentions A ringing endorsement from #generalsynod of the place of estates evangelism - front and centre - in @churchofengland strategy. Great work from @BpBurnley & blistering maiden speech from @janerichards #EETG @estatechurches

Work on estates churches has been 'utterly beautiful' in the face of multiple challenges, @BpBurnley told Synod today. Members voted to redouble efforts to establish churches and double the number of young active Christians on housing estates. churchofengland.org/media/press-re…



Church of England accused of overlooking the gifts and talents of working-class people. This is so true - premierchristian.news/en/news/articl…

Do you bother with setting a new year’s resolution that lasts a week? What have you found works best for you? Just interested.

🙏 Gracious God..we remember especially those who work as frontline healthcare professionals. May their eyes be opened to see signs of exploitation..may we each play our part in learning to recognise hearts needing deeper healing & liberating help. 🙏 Amen #Advent #ThankYouNHS

🗣️ We've managed to get #modernslavery into the training for #safeguarding. That must be a tool my friends, to have somebody in every community who knows about it, a group of people through churches who care about it. Bishop Alastair Redfern .@theclewer Chair #safeguardingsunday

On All Hallows' Eve, Christians prepare for the coming of All Saints’ Day tomorrow, when we remember in prayer all those people of God who made a huge difference in the lives of others because of their faith in Jesus Christ.
