Lord Boateng & BishopOfDover speaking on Liturgy & Racial Justice General Synod calling for action.

Just received my author copies of The Bible For Normal People's Opinions God’s Stories children’s Bible story book. It’s gorgeous! What a deep privilege to have been asked to contribute to such treasure.



It’s been such a privilege to serve as chaplain for the Church Mission Society Southern Conference 2025 these past two days. Not many know that CMS was founded in 1799 by members of the Eclectic Society—around a teapot! This humble beginning is known as the "teapot legacy". As the founder


The rare text, which was the first Bible written in Chinese, was been dropped off at an Oxfam bookshop in Chelmsford. The book, which dates back to about 1815, was plucked from a pile of donations by volunteers two years ago. Bible Society CMS Pioneer


What a wonderful occasion! Yesterday, Rev. Fung Lau was licensed as the Associate Vicar of Trinity Church in Earley—to serve the growing 400+ Cantonese speaking congregation—by the Bishop of Reading, Rt Revd. Mary Gregory. Diocese of Oxford




The Revd Fung Ming Lau has been welcomed to Trinity Earley as an Associate Minister with oversight of the Hong Kong Ministry at the church. Wonderful development for Berkshire and Diocese of Oxford.
