I really had big dreams for myself. [But in England] my qualifications, my experience, didn’t mean anything. . . During that time [as a care worker] in Coventry, I describe it to myself as being broken. I was very broken. But I think that God is the one that allowed me to be broken, and that is why I describe it as “gracefully broken” — because I think he wanted to remove any sense of entitlement from me, any sense of arrogance, and that’s where I took my strength: I had nothing or nobody to rely on but God

@thetimes reports that the RC priest who married Johnson & Symonds used to be @churchofengland priest till 2012. It does not add that, according to RC doctrine, he never was a real priest till 2012. Former non-real priest conducts wedding of man of two former non-real marriages.

Church of England Twitter account, 29 May

It seems that the Comms office of @churchofengland has made us modalists overnight. I dissent

Andrew Davison, Dean of Corpus Christi, Cambridge, on Twitter, 30 May

After all this Trinity Sunday palaver, PLEASE @churchofengland, ensure those tweets are checked by someone with some theological nous. It’s just so embarrassing, and if you’re going to put this stuff out there, accuracy really matters. Many of us stand ready to help

Jamie Hawkey, Canon Theologian of Westminster Abbey, on Twitter, 31 May

I felt like a trophy; it was bit like: “Wink, wink, we’ve got one now”
