Haha I can defo build a Salesforce solution that incorporates code 👩‍💻

Haha thank you 🙏 I do sometimes wonder why I find it fun 😆

Thank you very much! 😃

Tributes paid to General Synod Chair | The Church of England Tributes have been paid to Geoffrey Tattersall KC, a Chair of the General Synod and former Diocesan Chancellor, who has died aged 77.

This is a huge loss - not least to all those who attend or follow General Synod, and had come to appreciate Geoffrey's inimitable style of Chairing debates with a warm yet deft touch. Thoughts and prayers with his family.
