First time at 10 Downing Street today. Spotted Larry the Cat, looking like he runs the place. Standing at the heart of government, my thoughts were with those General Synod carrying the weight of decisions that shape our church. Maybe we need a cat too.

I support this. Li Tim-Oi is a hugely significant figure who was an inspiration to many female clergy before the The Church of England was willing to recognise our vocations. The Foundation that bears her name continues to do vital work

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

Zhao Xintong, the 1st Chinese player — and only the third ever — to win the Snooker World Championship from the very first round. A powerful reminder of what quiet perseverance can achieve — echoing the journey of many in the Chinese British community working their way up.
