Facebook Art - Lord you have called me by name

Today I led a virtual service of Morning Prayer on our College Facebook page. You can watch the recording here and follow the order of service here. I am grateful to Ben Schoeman for the music in today’s service and to my partner Henry for reading and for acting as cameraman. Today the Church of England remembers Mary Ramabai, a Sanskrit scholar and translator of the scriptures and the first woman to be awarded the title ‘Pandita’ which means scholar or learned person. She is remembered for her opposition to child marriage and the caste system, for setting up schools and homes for women and orphans and for pioneering an Indian vision of the faith.

Though we are many, we are one body, because we all share in one bread

In June 2017 I was asked to be the "face of the Church of England on Twitter", taking over the “OurCofE” Twitter account for a week. With over 10,000 followers from around the world, the account aimed to give a glimpse of life in different churches across England each week, to show the diversity of the church and God at work in everyday life. It was a wonderful and liberating experience to share and receive so many wonderful tweets from such a variety of people from all around the world. I tweeted over 1200 times, showing life in our parish and sharing stories from some of the many fascinating people in our congregation. You can read all the tweets at these ‘storify’ links:
