I'm looking forward to telling some tales from my time as a rural vicar next week - I'm not the Vicar of Dibley but it sometimes feels like it!

Enjoyed the diversity of rural parish churches in @cofeworcester.bsky.social this morning. From the bizarre baroque splendour of Great Witley to the stark simplicity of Pensax, only accessible up a steep grassy path. Faithful people in both. #ruralministry

I could see my breath again for Morning Prayer. So cold.

Wednesday is the only day I get other human company to say the Office so it was warm in other ways.

Plough Sunday in Cawston yesterday was excellent. Even miserable weather didn’t keep folks away as we celebrated our farmers and processed the Magi through the village on my vintage Grey Fergie. #ruralministry #followthestar

Trees and a mountain silhouetted against a sunrise of yellow and pink

The nice thing about being home is waking up to views like this

If you’re looking for a book that celebrates the beauty of rural ministry while honestly engaging with its realities, Tales of a Country Parish is a must-read. Have you experienced rural ministry or read this book? I’d love to hear your thoughts! #RuralMinistry

I’ve just finished Tales of a Country Parish by Colin Heber-Percy, and it’s left me deeply inspired by the beauty, challenges, and importance of rural ministry. Here’s a thread exploring its key insights and why rural ministry remains vital in the Church today. 🧵 #RuralMinistry

We are based in a 'remote rural area' in Southwest Scotland (the Machars of Galloway) and I'd be particularly interested in connecting with others involved in the whole process of 'doing church' in this kind of area. #ruralministry

This morning’s little benefice eucharist: twenty-ish parishioners, one cathedral dean, one vicar, one small dog called Kai who joined in the hymns and went up to the communion rail for a blessing. Cracking sermon and There’s a Wideness in God’s mercy to my favourite tune. #RuralMinistry ✝️
