Talking Low Income Communities at General Synod

It has been a very busy week. Five days of General Synod merged straight into the business of being chair of governors at our wonderful school. And tomorrow I head to Taize with our bishop and a group of pilgrims.

I had intended to write some reflections on this session of synod but I am out of time. I have managed to quickly edit my words about Low Income Communities Funding from Saturday’s session.

The Chapel of Our Lady of The Crag

We took a little trip to The Chapel of Our Lady of the Crag, Knaresborough. What else would you do when you all work for the church and want a day off?

During covid I had a sabbatical and I visited a lot of UK shrines. I have a lot of footage for a vlog series about Holy Places that I have planned so you’ll have to wait for it to appear on YouTube in 2037 when I’ve had the time to edit it.
