    My transgendered cousin took his own life because of the hate he encountered from others 😔 The inquest into his death returned an open verdict as no one was directly responsible. Deaths such as his begin with language such as this 😔

    If you’re awake prayers would be appreciated for this old vicar. Two nights and a day of alternate freezing shivering and over heating sweating has left me wrung out. Very thankful for a great team @FelixParish who continue to take up the slack and give me permission to rest 💝

    Not looking forward to @churchofengland @synod at all and just had a little weep on realising that it seems as if we sometimes give more protection to sexual abusers and predators than we do to the Rainbow 🏳️‍🌈 Children of God. Nkosi Sihawukele 🥲
