Community Rhythm: Worship & Prayer
We value times of worship together. After a night in silence, we start the day by responding to the invitation “O Lord open our lips” with “and we shall praise your name.”
How do you build a framework of awareness of God into your day?

Back from a weekend at Cuddesdon. Lots of new people, new information and new challenges that lie ahead. But also wonderful, supportive staff / students, full breadth of tradition and each person welcomed and valued for exactly who God made them to be.
Now is it nearly bedtime? (Just a tad tired!)

Yeah, I think that’s fair. Though there used to be a belief that going to Westcott or Cuddesdon was a good start at becoming a bishop (not true now, if it ever was)

@suffolkvicar.bsky.social do you have any more of the equal marriage tea towels laying about? I got one from you when you visited Cuddesdon a few years back.

That moment when you are preparing for your online Pilgrim Theology College Wednesday evening lecture and remember that you spoke on the same topic - listening in ministry and mission - to an online class in Cuddesdon, England last year. Which the local organiser called brilliant. #thumbsup

another to The Holy Hill today: someone has left their sunnies in my #taxi. I’m getting so many fares to Cuddesdon recently that I am starting to think the Lord might be trying to nag me about something.

English eel-rents had vanished by 1700. But landlords still wanted their eels!
In 1781 the fishery at Wickham's Weir in Cuddesdon was leased for £9 per year & no eels. But the tenant did have to sell his landlord eels "of a good size" at the below-market price of 7d. per pound.

Yay! Bishop has finally confirmed Stage 2 recommendation (he's a busy chap, tbf) and I start training PT at Cuddesdon in Sept.
Can't say I've loved the process as an autistic (probably AuDHD) person but am incredibly thankful for those who have given wisdom / calmed my angst at various points.

Yes, happy to wave at any young
People you know. I’ve offered to help with a couple of sessions as we’ve offsite so whole weekend not doable.
Next at Cuddesdon in September. I have a better idea of where things are now in relation to Wheatley so perhaps I will manage to catch you at some stage!

Missed you! Glad you're ok. Not going to Greenbelt but the young person I 'mother' is. I'll tell them to look out for you. I think they're leading a scratch choir? When are you at cuddesdon next?

Check out Anderson Jeremiah's: as perfect as a mitre can be in this sinful world. And have a look at Edward King's if you're ever at Cuddesdon. He was the first bishop to wear a mitre and Eucharistic vestments in the Church of England after the the Reformation. On the small side, but what a saint!

Trust me to get talking to a chap whilst waiting for the car wash. He trained at Ripon College Cuddesdon too and has worked all over the world with charities. Fascinating man and a really good conversation.

One of the Ordinands turned up at my taxi with a *huge* fan, as big as a small child. It sat on the lap of one of the other ordinands on the journey. Drove away, thinking to myself they should make that fella a bishop, in around ten years’ time.

Fare to the Holy Hill, for one #Dorchester and two #Oxford ordinands, headed for their pre ordination retreat, ahead of Sunday.
This door knocker is really quite something.

An early start for my Waterways Breeding Bird survey for @btobirds.bsky.social along the River Thame from Cuddesdon. Great to hear 12 singing Reed Warbler, a site record due to habitat improvement by @riverthamect.bsky.social. 2 Hobby were also notable 👌🏻

How can we live as peacemakers in a disordered world? There are just six places left on the Community five-day retreat at Cuddesdon in July. Could you come and create community with us?
