I have a parishioner who’s going on hospice today. A friend of theirs was in church. When I mentioned it, they replied, “We’re praying for a miracle that he pulls out of it.”
What is it about us that we don’t accept death? Who do we want served when we pray for those types of miracles?
Nobody gets out of here alive.

Nothing like starting out the day being told one of your elderly parishioners fell and broke a hip yesterday.

#clergylife has its challenges, but making a newborn house call where I got to hold a two week old baby for an hour is ::chef's kiss.::
The Year 10s had their Christmas Fair today to raise money for their charity, Hope House Wrexham (children’s hospice).

At clergy conference, I heard a colleague—another parish priest—describe herself as a theologian. It was the first descriptor she used, and it gave me great joy. I want to share this ministry with people who know that they have been called to the work of theology and who believe God has given them the gifts to carry it out. #wat #episcopal #clergylife
