In a busy, and not always straightforward Advent, the beauty of the Quiet Christmas service @southwarkcathedral.bsky.social was exactly what I needed.
Lovely music from #MerbeckeChoir, space to mourn brokenness , acknowledge the darkness and turn towards the Light...
I'm so glad we can do this

A full house for #MerbeckeChoir Christmas @southwarkcathedral.bsky.social.who are on their usual excellent form. I am so thrilled that they now have a reliable following, richly deserved. Proud of them (& a bit embarrassed that we grossly underestimated the number of programmes needed!)

After the excitements of a weekend that moved from #PrideinLondon to the powerful emotions of Tippet's Spirituals sung by #MerbeckeChoir, to a fond farewell to a retiring colleague & a warm welcome to a new ArchDeacon, I hit Monday quite tired. But just looking at these brought joy & energy. Fab!
