#Ecumenicalism seems to be declaring victory in defeat.

Guess I'd better do a proper #intro post. I'm an #anglican ordinand ( #churchofengland ) in the North East of #England. Love learning #languages, and am currently tackling Biblical Hebrew! Passionate about #climatejustice, being an ally as best I can, #ecumenicalism and being #outdoors. Probably get too #political for my own good.
