Well done +Nick Chamberlain (Bishop of Grantham) for raising the point that the UK is becoming increasingly hostile to LGBTQ people and that we are backsliding badly. We need to move beyond polarisation, stop hiding behind process, and show compassion and solidarity. #GeneralSynod

“If you’re over fifty you might remember pictures of the hole in the ozone layer” says Bishop Jill Duff. Mildly irked, as I am still quite a way off fifty and I definitely remember that (and I’m sure I’m not alone!) #GeneralSynod

Since #GeneralSynod is talking about neurodiversity in the church, esp around vocations: valuing the ministries of neurodiverse clergy often goes along with valuing the vocations of ordained scholars and religious vocations, because these are often the same people.

Thing I did not expect to hear on the floor of General Synod: an inquiry as to what the Archbishops are doing, personally, about demographic decline. Archbishop Sarah looking understandably startled and Archbishop Stephen, I think, struggling not to laugh. Can’t blame him! #GeneralSynod

#GeneralSynod stands to applaud Hosam Naoum, Archbishop in Jerusalem, as he speaks to us about the current terrible situation. He’s currently talking about the work of Al Ahli Hospital, the plight of Palestinian civilians, and calling for peace, return of hostages, and an end to war crimes.

Neurodiversity debate. Fiona MacMillan, presenting the report, notes that we rightly talk about wanting more diversity but as a church don’t always welcome the diversity we have. #GeneralSynod

We’re on the Unity of the Nation discussion (not debate) and I’m pleased* to hear Bishop Toby Howarth naming the increased sense of fear and vulnerability felt by members of ethnic minorities in the U.K. and sharing some things that have been shared with him #GeneralSynod * ie pleased he said it

Robert Buckland making a very passionate case for the moral imperative to keep working to make progress towards Net Zero, and noting there are already parts of Sub-Saharan Africa where life is essentially unsupportable. #GeneralSynod
