While it’s important to be clear that Synod has not done anything to change the C of E’s position on same sex marriage for the clergy, “Issues in Human Sexuality” was a horrible, harmful document (used as it was never intended to be). I’m so glad it’s now consigned to history, on such a clear vote.
"Issues" is no more! Why what the Church of England did today in binning an offensive document about sexuality really matters.

Alleluia! Christ is risen! The stone rolled from the tomb, wonderful confirmations in Fakenham, life in God renewed. Alleluia! He is risen indeed. Alleluia! @dioceseofnorwich.bsky.social @revtracyjessop.bsky.social
It is finished.
Deafening silence as we gathered to witness the final hour.
And now we wait.

Ah…I’d missed the second pic. Thanks Grace.
I’d love to know what you had in your goody bags!
Palm Sunday.
Giving those who long for your saving love a new song to sing: Hosanna!
The start of Holy Week as we journey to the Cross.

Inspired by medieval history, the Rector of St Peter and St Paul, Fakenham, the Revd Tracy Jessop, will be pulling pints of the church’s own ale at the Norfolk town’s annual Gin and Beer Festival this weekend
Visited the lovely people at Barsham Brewery to see our beer, Two Apostles, coming together. Happy to keep the medieval tradition of Church Ales alive!
The Fakenham Beer and Gin Festival is on 21/22 March.

I should add, amongst all the planning, preparation, praying that goes with services in the moment, as a leader it isn’t always easy to worship and be fed. Today I am full.

Services today in church remind me why I followed God’s great big nudge to priesthood.

Today is International Womens Day.
'Dear Lord, we celebrate the strength and courage of women in every corner of the world. Amen.'
“She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future.” Proverbs 31.25 #IWD
Stunning day for a walk.

This is a real staple in our household.

“Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return. Turn away from sin and be faithful to Christ.”
The chapel seems a little quieter than when I was there in March 23. Blessings on the Holy Land for this Lenten time.

We ran out of seats but never run out of food!

A verse from Psalm 69, set for today’s Evening Prayer:
‘Those who would destroy me are mighty; my enemies accuse me falsely: must I now give back what I never stole?’
It might have come straight from President Zelenskyy if he hadn’t been shouted down in the Oval Office.

Happy Bish’day. You gave me some advice a year or two before this pic, on my discernment journey. I’m ever grateful for that, as I am your prophetic ministry now.

C’est magnifique
Birthday mass with some of the faithful. Off for a few days now. Walk at the beach. Glass of fizz. #Blessings

The Rectory garden is on point today.
I think the only amendment will be for the language around the Ordination of Bishops, which was changed so wonderfully to include Women!
I have this 2007 copy that is now gathering dust. Any use to you?
