Tony Campolo passed away today. He was 89 years old. He was one of the most gifted preachers I have ever heard. If you have a few minutes, listen to him tell the story of throwing a birthday party for a prostitute in Hawaii. It's worth your time.

Rest in peace and rise in glory #TonyCampolo. Thank you for comforting those facing challenges and challenging the comfortable. I only interviewed him briefly but so many things he said remained with me.

It’s clear from the 100s of emails I continue to receive that there’s a crisis of trust in the episcopate (not surprising, and not new). #Makin must be a watershed and all (all) named in the Review must step back from public ministry now pending independent investigations.

What an amazingly uplifting afternoon spent at the BBC Radio 4 extra Daily Service Carol Concert. So grateful to take part. Listen out in Christmas week on 4extra & BBC Manchester 🙌 Swarzy Seth Pinnock PHILIPPA HANNA

How does a small loss-making recruitment agency land a £50 million deal to supply PPE? According to Lord Feldman, the agency owner just needs to be a 'good chap' and 'ex-SAS'. Much of the PPE SG Recruitment eventually delivered would be marked 'do not supply to the NHS'.

Random thought, I know, but “Moonlight Motel” is fast becoming my favourite Bruce Springsteen song. Another reminder that you cannot write off ANY of his albums.

Thank you BBC Radio 2 & Owain Wyn Evans for having me. Always a privilege to pause for thought. bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0…

I’m a 46 year old football fan who never got higher in my playing career than an appearance for Mid Cheshire and a National Church cup final and even I can see Arsenal need a striker & a couple more back ups. No one up front or on bench to worry PSG at all. #ARSvPSGTSL
