I've been very quiet since leaving C of E ministry, but I always guessed this story would be told one day. I was reluctant to be interviewed as it's not my story. It's that of the victims and survivors, and others in Blackburn tried to tell it sooner. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

I have been overwhelmed by kindness and support since Tuesday. There has also been a lot of comment about CDMs being unfit for purpose, so here are four brief thoughts. I am not the story here, but nor am I the storyteller. Others now need to address the unanswered questions.

Really honoured to be selected as a finalist in the LGBTQ+ Ally Award with #TheCollaborativeNetwork.

Just in case you thought I had retired from public appearances. Great to be a guest of the Royal Navy this evening.

At long last they are advertising. This is an amazing job, with a civic ministry bigger than many cathedrals, a thriving congregation, and fantastic opportunities. Could you be the next Rector of Liverpool L'pool Parish Church? Diocese of Liverpool pathways.churchofengland.org/en/jobs/rector…

I resigned from the CofE as part of my challenge to the cover up of abuse in Blackburn. @JustinWelby has not resigned or challenged. In fact he seems happy to perpetuate the cover ups of Smythe, Blackburn and many more. The tragedy of #Makin is that it says nothing surprising.
