Musings of a curate in the Church of England. After spending 9 years as a Church Army Officer, I went to Ripon College Cuddesdon in 2009 to train for ordination in the Church of England. I was ordained deacon in September 2011, and then priest in September 2012, serving as Assistant Curate in the parish of St. Botolph Northfleet and St. Mark Rosherville.

http://morethanliberty.blogspot.com/2016_09_01_archive.html
A conversation between God, me (a Christian minister and mother) and anyone else who might be interested. Monday, 12 September 2016. An Open Letter From Me to the C of E ('cause everyone else is doing it, so why shouldn't I? Oh no, you think. Another open letter. Surely we've had enough of those lately. Well yes, I reply, that's true, there have been a few, haven't there? So, Church, my letter is to you. We've been through a lot together since then, haven't we, Church? So, Church, this is my plea: please...

More Than Liberty: The utter social minefield that is wedding receptions, and the Eucharist

A conversation between God, me (a Christian minister and mother) and anyone else who might be interested. Sunday, 28 August 2016. The utter social minefield that is wedding receptions, and the Eucharist. I am going to use some words of invitation at this morning's Eucharist that I haven't used before, and I am going to read them to you now so that you can hold this invitation in your heart through the rest of the service. I end with this:. Come to this table not because you must, but because you may.

If I were an Archbishop.A Daydream about the Laying-On of Hands on this Historic Day. Today, the part of the Church of God that I call home, the Church of England gets its first female bishop. Though, have made the laying-on of hands a less straightforwardly joyful celebration than it ought to be. So, I got thinking.what if I were an Archbishop? And would it matter, anyway?

My most deliciously gleeful moment last week was when I phoned a local skip company and hired a four yarder to be delivered next Tuesday. I tried to keep the 'squee! Out of my voice as I discussed the merits of the varieties of skip on offer, because, well, only weirdos get over-excited about skips, don't they?

A conversation between God, me (a Christian minister and mother) and anyone else who might be interested. Wednesday, 24 December 2014. Would you Adam and Eve It? A short thought for Christmas Eve. This year we have seen such pain in Iraq, in Syria, in South Sudan, and just this month, in India. What might the good news of Jesus look like for God's hurting children in those places?

More Than Liberty: Finding Faith in Uncertain Times: A Post-Referendum Sermon
http://morethanliberty.blogspot.com/2016/06/finding-faith-in-uncertain-times-post.html
A conversation between God, me (a Christian minister and mother) and anyone else who might be interested. Sunday, 26 June 2016. Finding Faith in Uncertain Times: A Post-Referendum Sermon. It's a question that many ask during times of uncertainty; where is God when everything changes around you? So how can we respond, as Christians, during times of uncertainty? I think that there are three responses. Will we trust Him to lead us? I am going to finish by reading a short reflection which is often read on Ne...

This week I was invited to Bhaktivedanta Manor. Who was so influential on George Harrison in the 1960s and on the Holocaust. Another fascinating person was the Baptist minister. It took me instantly to the words of James in the New Testament; 'I by my works will show you my faith.'. The Hindu notion of the eterni...
