Happy Easter!  (I’m writing this on 20th April, during Easter week, but the season of Easter continues throughout most of May until we celebrate Ascension Day on Thursday 26th May).

Last month, I wrote of the invasion of Ukraine, and encouraged all to pray for Ukraine, and for peace, and to join us for a special service of prayer for peace on Ash Wednesday (2nd March, in St Giles’ Horspath).

After fourteen months of covid-induced silence the single tenor bell was rung again, half-muffled, to mark the passing of the Duke of Edinburgh in April, and also to mark his funeral shortly after.

On Thursday 24th February, I attended the 7:30am College Eucharist in the chapel of Ripon College Cuddesdon, as I often do.
