Elon Musk the starlink thing and Ukraine is just wrong. May God forgive you.

I am trying threads. Twitter, sadly, has become anarchic, with the slogan of free speech being an excuse for the ugliness of humanity being affirmed and wicked conspiracy theories being advocated (I still haven’t forgiven @elonmusk for his remarks about Paul Pelosi).

So the great Rev Dr Martyn Percy is having lunch. This consists of a large plate of grated cheese (and that is it) with a tomato soup. I’m in awe. A simple soul with a complex theological mind.

May Leslie Houlden rest in peace. He was formative in my development. Grateful for a full life.

I remain grateful to Prof Leslie Houlden, who died today, for what he taught me about the New Testament, and of how priesthood and intellectual curiosity might be integrated. His seminars and sermons stay with me. May he rest in peace.

We have wanted Dr Sanjee Perera to visit for many years. At last it is happening. We will enjoy learning from her.

Replying to @SanjeePerera1
...my kind and generous former theology professor Dean @ianmarkham has offered my bruised soul a sabbatical and a place to rest, regroup and write at @VTS_Seminary, as a Dean's Scholar researching Racial Justice in the Anglican Communion in the grain of our Anglican Ecclesiology.
