🚨 @HistoricEngland 's new research shows that there is strong public support for preserving the nation’s historic churches. This was even the case among people who are secular or who do not attend church services. But why does this matter now?⬇️ shorturl.at/nbufE
Introduce some spiritual rhythm to your week, and join us every Wednesday at 10am for a simple service of Holy Communion, followed by tea & coffee. An oasis in the middle of your week. @oxforddiocese
God bless +Christopher, the @BishopSouthwark (and now the 'Bionic Bishop') who broke every bone in his face and had it completely reconstructed. You would honestly not know this had happened from looking at him. bbc.com/news/articles/…
Congratulations to @ChChCathedralOx for an immaculate @BBCRadio4 #SundayWorship today - Walton, Wesley, the theme of house, and much recommended. You can find it on BBCSounds for around a month I think
Not sure if @Portaspeciosa @CathyRLowe @StroudStory @chartres_Fiona have ever been to St Botolph Swyncombe but it’s a beauty, and “always open!” as a cheery passerby was keen to tell me
🚨Yellow thunderstorm warnings have been issued by the Met Office for some parts of the UK. Thunderstorms can trigger your asthma, making symptoms like breathlessness, wheezing and coughing worse and putting you at risk of a potentially life threatening asthma attack. Sometimes,…

The wonderful Holy Trinity Church at Bosham this weekend - couldn’t go in due to church fete prep but very lovely from the outside and across the bay

Friends and colleagues who (however irregularly) drive into Oxford, you may want to have a look at this 👇👇👇

23 June is the feast of St Etheldreda (Æthelthryth), abbess of Ely, who died in 679. One of the most important Anglo-Saxon female saints, she was the founder of a great Fenland abbey, which in death she fiercely guarded from Viking and Norman invaders. aclerkofoxford.blogspot.com/2012/06/lady-e…
ok here is my ‘sounds like a shitpost but it’s genuine’ UK heatwave tip: if there is a Saxon or Norman church near you, and it’s open, go sit in it. not gothic, too many windows, get some thick stone walls with some high up tiny windows. they stay cold. and you can just sit there
For every £1 that’s invested in a church building, £16 of social value is created. Our Chair, @PhilipRutnam, in the @thetimes today calls for government departments to consider partnering with local churches to meet their ambitious targets following the #SpendingReview
It’s impressive that often the most troubled souls (his words not mine) bring the most heavenly creativity to the world, and this deserves every celebration #BrianWilsonRIP
I’ve always really liked this latter day performance of Sloop John B by Brian Wilson and Al Jardine.
Social Media is not the place to find names of passengers. This is awful. No thought for relatives. Please stop it.
The Listed Places of Worship Grants Scheme is a lifeline for historic churches, saving them 20% on repair costs. But the future of this important scheme is now uncertain. Take a look at our template letter and write to your MP today to save it ⬇️ nationalchurchestrust.org/letter-templat…
We welcome the government's investment to expand emergency and urgent care ahead of winter because no one should be stuck in A&E or left in a corridor fighting for breath. Winter can be an especially dangerous time for people with lung conditions. theguardian.com/politics/2025/…
Thought you’d like to see this too @WealandsBell
8am. Top of the tower. Choral Mattins for Ascension Day ⛪✨ Then breakfast in Hall 🥐☕ A beautiful way to rise and shine 🌤️ #ExeterCollegeOxford #FloreatExon
Come along to the Cathedral tonight at 6.05 pm for a special Festal Choral Eucharist for the Feast of the Ascension. On this day, Christians celebrate the conclusion of Jesus' earthly ministry and his raising up into heaven. We hope you can join us!
For @lukejsherlock @Sherlock_Pages - saw this today in Ewelme (my local church’s) visitors book and thought you’d want to know. Well done!
