Finally on my way home from #OFMonsite2025, after an overnight stop to see friends and do some research interviews for my PhD. My traveling companion (courtesy of Yvonne Bell) has provoked some interesting conversations on the train! A pilgrimage journey of sorts, perhaps...?! #PilgrimPeople

I have had the BEST time at #OFMonsite2025 and it was a privilege and a joy to preach at the closing Eucharist today. #PilgrimPeople

This morning our keynote speaker Steve Benford is starting by reflecting on the beauty of holiness and the holiness of beauty. #OFMonsite2025 #PilgrimPeople

How I know I'm at the right conference:

Me: I wouldn't stand next to me in a thunderstorm.

From behind me: Standing in a thunderstorm reminds you to be glad you're into rubber.

🤣🤣🤣 #OFMOnsite2025 #PilgrimPeople

An altar with lots of candles and the blessed sacrament at the centre.

It's an evening of contrasts at #OFMonsite2025 - Benediction followed by Open Mic Night! Both wonderful in their very different ways. #PilgrimPeople

Gemma Simmonds reminds us that Jesus in the beatitudes invites us into deep desire, and she invites us to consider which of the beatitudes we most need and desire in our lives. #OFMonsite2025 #PilgrimPeople

I hope this is the sort of church we are as @onfiremission.bsky.social. We don't always get it right, but this is how we long to be: a reflection of God's boundless love. #OFMonsite2025 #PilgrimPeople

Gemma Simmonds speaks of the importance of saying "come as you are, whoever you are, there is a place for you in God's family" - something the church has not always been good at. #OFMonsite2025 #PilgrimPeople

"Did you put it like that on purpose?!" 😂 Friends, I did not. I have been suitably and affectionately mocked. #OFMonsite2025 #PilgrimPeople
