Off to Dublin for the weekend to give some lectures on reimagining worship in missional contexts. Looking forward to this!

Feast day of the Venerable Bede, who died on this day in 735. “Christ is the morning star who, when the night of this world is past, brings to his saints the promise of the light of life, and opens everlasting day.”

Augustine was right—the way we feel about the passage of time is not in step with its chronological measure. A lot of water flowed under the bridge in 7 years, yet it seems only a heartbeat.since this art exhibition opened at Yale, curated by my brilliant friend, Jon Seals.

Durham on a beautiful sunny day — it’s hard to beat!

Math test…. 😁

The Book of Common Prayer is majestic, and I really want to like The Prayer Book Society but it is toxic. Its leaders support discrimination against LGBT people, now this in its latest magazine: “I was greeted by a witchlike female in clerical garb.” MartineOborne Women and the Church

Something I learned as a student at Selwyn College Cambridge: the head of college (Master/Principal/Provost) can transform Christmas for students who are alone over the vacation. When I was a college Principal myself, it was one of the most joyful moments to offer hospitality!

So good to catch up with Bishop of Newcastle 🖤🤍🖤🤍🙏 today, and to hear her sermon in St Paul's Cathedral, which was by turns funny, poignant, and very wise.

Had a great morning preaching at St Paul's Cathedral, and meeting old friends and new. Tomorrow I head up to Durham University where I shall address the Café des Theologiennes, at St Chad's College. If you’re in Durham late afternoon tomorrow, come and join!

I heard a few Ash Wednesday sermons yesterday. This was far and away the best. We are imperfect—let’s own up to that—but we’re still “set apart” for God. We’re called, not to a miserable, guilt-ridden Lent, but to a Holy Lent. Thanks, ⁦Tim Schenck⁩ youtu.be/yc4z3Exwrwo

Can you be allergic to the ashes they put on your forehead on Ash Wednesday? Last evening I was at a service, and the ashes gave my skin a burning feeling. I wiped them off right away, but I can still feel it today.

Another year! But against the worry of ageing, this song (Wildeblood/King): 🎼 The lady’s wide awake, She’s not afraid to count the candles on the cake, Blow ‘em out, and blow ‘em all, She’s about to have herself a ball, Life is great! Come on and celebrate, Let the music play…

Loving this! I used to stand in awe watching this kind of sky when I lived in Norway.
