In today's Financial Times, Wendy Jones highlights that 7 out of 10 current bestsellers are books where women are murdered. I find it odd that JK Rowling who portrays herself as 'protecting women's rights' is making money from writing stories in which women are murdered.

In central Cardiff the air is thick with smoke and the sky is hazy from the wildfires. We are ruining the planet and we need to address this urgently. #cardiff #climateemergency #climatechange

Life is hard for LGBTQIA+ folks at the moment, so here's a bit of Queer promotion.

I’m delighted to have the privilege to vote and live in a democracy. Our rights are fragile.

Three weeks away and finally back in St John’s!

Ah photo almost 16 years ago to the day and now 5 years since you passed. Miss you, Stevie x

When one of your CDs is sold out and someone you love has lost her copy sometimes it is necessary to buy a used copy online 😐

Morning Prayer is sometimes so prescient that it is breathtaking. Here's the opening of Psalm 2 this morning

St John’s was wonderful but almost entirely filled by folks who were visiting Cardiff or who aren’t with us most weeks. They were beautiful 🙏 #clergymaltclub #clergymilkclub

At first sight it looks like a magnificent number of deacons being ordained by the Scottish Episcopal Church! Actually the Gabba as Australia reply to England's first Innings. #clergycricket

'Drag Queens in Limosines' Mary Gauthier. Wow! What a gem. Every line. 💚

I found myself in Newcastle at the same time as Mary Gauthier! Mary and Jaimee Harris were superb. I was very moved seeing Mary live for the first time.

Thank you Edinburgh. It was so good to meet everyone who came to St Columba's by the Castle last night. You were super. Thank you to Juliet and her team and to Fiona and her team at St Augustine's URC for promoting the event. #everydaynormal

Thank you to everyone at the Transgender, Non-Binary and Intersex Theology Conference in Manchester. It was so good to meet you. I am holding you all on my heart today as I head north to Edinburgh. #everydaynormal

Thank you Liverpool and thank you St Brides 🙏 It was an honour to meet you and to connect with folks I'd met before. A full room and your fair city. . . who could ask for more! Big shout out to the Widnes Posse and of course to Warren and everyone who made it happen. #everydaynormal #trans #lgbtq+

The Production Company have been in touch with me to say that they would very much welcome any contributions from the LGBTQ+ Community. If you may have an item do get in touch with them! Please do share with your own connections. #RepairShop

I have had a very stressful morning. Today I am grateful for a beautiful blue sky, a warm autumnal sun and life-giving fresh air. Deo gratias 🙏

Mmm Jazz 🎶🎹🎷

Thank you to Colette Hume and BBC Radio Wales Drive, for inviting me on your programme to discuss the appointment of Bishop Cherry Vann as the next Archbishop of Wales.

To be honest I am surprised that there is a concern that too much of the Samaritans' income is spent on "maintaining bricks and mortars, rather than being used to improve our services". I don't think they should spend any money on mortars. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

When you are in London 150 miles from your parish and you bump into your Diocesan Director of Ministry and Discipleship on a pedestrian crossing that you weren't going to use!

Thank you to Brasenose College, Oxford for inviting me to preach at Evensong on Pentecost and Oxford Pride weekend! Your hospitality was superb and it was a joy to meet you all. 🕊️🔥🌈🙏

February is LGBTQIA+ History Month. I wrote a prayer for it in 2022. It was recently used in a Memorial Service for Matthew Shepard in Washington National Cathedral. Feel free to use it if you find it useful 🙏
