Thamesmead Codex Tate is an installation capturing interviews with Thamesmead tenants from 2019/20. Artist Smith reflects “I thought I was making a painting about a housing estate, but actually I was painting about the desire to be heard”. I found this piece incredibly moving.

Christ be with me, Christ before me Christ behind me, Christ in me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me, Christ on my right, Christ on my left, Christ where I lie, Christ where I sit, Christ where I arise, Christ in the heart of everyone who thinks of me. St Patrick

***A Statement From Our NECN Trustees***

'There is no pit so deep that the love of God is not deeper still.' Corrie Ten Boom #WednesdayWisdom

Proud to be part of this community and well played Walthamstow. Praying the rest of the evening passes off peaceably and that other communities are encouraged by the turnout today

Today is the feast of St Maximilian Kolbe, a Polish Franciscan friar who, in an extraordinary act of solidarity and love, volunteered to take the place of one of the men chosen to die by starvation in the death camp at Auschwitz. The man he saved attended his canonisation.

It was a pleasure to welcome The Rt Revd Lynne Cullens, Bishop of Barking and guests from the Diocese of Chelmsford to the Diocese of Bristol at St Andrew's Church, Avonmouth and Shine Pinehurst, Swindon, two of our Priority Community Networks.

"Know that God had called you: He will equip and bless you." A privilege to start the academic year with our Secondary colleagues in church, where, in the vestry, our school was founded over 300 years ago. A blessing to have Bishop Lynne Cullens lead and encourage us as we start.

This month, thirteen #ChelmsDioNewRevs will be ordained at @ccathedral. Here they are on their ordination retreat at RetreatHousePleshey. Please join us in praying for them ahead of their ordination services.

How can those on the frontline can maintain their wellbeing in a time of chronic challenges? Looking forward NECN Estate Churches Conference 2024

The NECN Estate Churches Annual Conference is always a day well spent for estates and urban clergy and church leaders and this year's look especially action-packed...

Warning: Miss one month’s council tax payment & it could ask you to pay the whole year bill within weeks. Council tax debt collection is far worse than finance firms. It’s destructive especially for those with mental health issues. My speech at @MMHPI campaign launch

I am so looking forward to hearing Cris Rogers ن wisdom
