An old Ministry boss once told me never to post on church comms about clock changes. His logic was that no one’s workplace or business they would go to would do this - if you want to be somewhere for an event, you figure it out. If someone wants to be at Mass, they will be.

Getting dark at 3.30pm for 3 months makes everyone want to kill themselves. And it would cost nothing to change it.

The clocks go back by one hour on 25 October at 2am, which means you’ll gain an hour ⏰ What will you do with the extra time? Let us know below 👇

It is time to stop doing this. Personally I’d like to keep BST and have more light in the afternoon in winter. But either way just stop this.

Online trads be like: HENRY VIII'S DIVORCE led to THE ENGLISH REFORMATION which led to INDIVIDUALISM which led to LIBERALISM which led to DATING APPS which led to MY MATCH SAYING "I'M NOT REALLYLOOKING FOR ANYTHING SERIOUS" and therefore HINGE IS A HENRICIAN THEOLOGICAL PROJECT

NEW: According to a bombshell report in the New York Times, Anthropic co-founder Chris Olah threatened to walk out of Pope Leo XIV’s AI encyclical launch in May because the pope rejected the idea that machines can be conscious. Olah’s team then privately lobbied the pope’s advisers “to take the possibility of model consciousness seriously.” Pope Leo XIV held firm. For months, Anthropic has wined and dined theologians and religious scholars under nondisclosure agreements, hoping they would bless the idea that Claude has moral standing. thelettersfromleo.com/p/nyt-…

NYT: Anthropic Nearly Walked Out on Pope Leo XIV’s AI Encyclical — Then Lobbied His Advisers

Chris Olah saw an advance copy of Magnifica Humanitas days before the Vatican launch and proposed withdrawing over its stance on machine consciousness. The pope held his ground.

Note well, apparently Anthropic tried very hard to get the Vatican to alter the text of "Magnifica Humanitas" just prior to its release so that it would not deny AI personhood.

It’s probably a side effect of ageing but I wondered today why so many Main Event locations in life seem like back-stage. Schools and classrooms. Hospitals and waiting rooms. Workplaces and supermarkets. Ugly spaces where we do the vast majority of our living.

Why is thoughtfulness, beauty, and humanity such a rarity? It isn’t just cost. These spaces are already expensive. And there is a legitimate need for accessibility. But when nothing we do seems dignified is this why we seem to behave with so little of it?

A tremendously encouraging service before the @marchforlifeuk today - +Horsham preached on the incarnation of Jesus and its implications for human dignity, Fr Tom celebrated holy communion, and +Bradwell sent us away with an episcopal blessing. Then... off to the march!

How can Vocations processes work well with an Augustine? A wild life, a fierce intellect, and a convert at the other end of youth. It seems likely that a new generation of Priests will come from our “quiet revival” and that might mean ppl who know a lot but are recently baptised.

It was foul, and I loved it. I loved my own undoing. I loved my error–not that for which I erred but the error itself. A depraved soul, falling away from security in thee to destruction in itself, seeking nothing from the shameful deed but shame itself. - Augustine on pears

Old doorbells: Push a button and a chimer chimes New doorbells: Push a button and a few seconds later maybe a camera feed starts and a notification pops up on someone's phone, but only if everything is correctly logged in, charged, and the wifi is working.
