Lucky enough to have seen quite a few of his plays (some starring John Kani, with whom he had a remarkable partnership) in venues as varied as London, Cape Town, Boston & even on Mull. Though he spoke primarily against injustice in South Africa, his message resonated around the world. Unforgettable.
Alexei Navalny died one year ago today. What gave him the courage to oppose tyranny? It's moving to see in the closing lines of his remarkable memoir just how crucial and sustaining his Christian faith was...
An excellent evening at St Chad’s this evening with a challenging & inspiring session on Modern Slavery led by Judge James Ewins KC. Really impressed with our students’ engagement
Today’s walk: bracing & beautiful
May I set ajar
The doors of closed minds. Words come and words go
And poetry is pain as well as passion,
But in the large flights of imagination
I see for one crammed second, order so
Explicit I need no more persuasion
from I Count the Moments,
Elizabeth Jennings

Norman Cornish, Crucifixion (1960). For Cornish the telegraph pole represents technological progress, the crucifixion its human cost. Excellent exhibition @thebowesmuseum.bsky.social on Cornish and Lowry
So happy to finally get to see this exhibition at the National today, and on the train home, the letters - fascinating, beautiful & brilliant. #vanGogh

Here's the homily that I preached at Janey Godley's funeral today.
"Janey Godley died having forgiven everyone. But she still believed to her dying day, that Trump..." #JaneyGodley #pisky #Glasgow #FrankGetTheDoor
