This month I have mostly been thinking about… the Anglican Communion… through the lens of the cultural entrenchment we are all being forced into.

Finally, Julia Roberts has declared it. Now we can do something about it!
The crowning of my year of officially becoming a proper adult happened today… exchanging contracts on a house!
I am now a 40 year old parent who owns a house! I still play with Lego and laugh at flatulence… so, there maybe questions over maturity!!
"In many public conversations about faith and other contested issues we find ourselves in one of two places. Either we veer toward conflict... Or we avoid it altogether."

In the heat Hugo is sleeping only in his nappy. On the sleep monitor he looks like Mowgli and I can’t tell you how much my heart burst with love, pride and protective instinct! I would kill for him… don’t push me because I will do it!

“If the dominant leadership cultures centres on the autonomous, performative self, maybe it is those cultures, not autistic people, that are out of step with the Body of Christ.”

Why do I spend so long thinking about the Trinity and feel so pained when encountering disunity?
I’m neurodivergent; that’s why! www.nedlunn.com/2025/04/30/i...
The queen meets Liz Truss and then dies.
The pope meets JD Vance and then dies.
That’s curious.
He returns, just when we need him most. Not as a memory, but as presence. As promise.
Peekaboo. Christ is risen.
He is risen indeed. Peekaboo!
And then, when I return, his whole face lights up. Joy erupts. I was gone… but now I’m back.
This is what Easter teaches us: object permanence.
When Jesus died, it felt like the end. God hidden. Hope lost. But he was never truly gone.
