I’m guessing you either came home on the train, or didn’t have much mail on your return from the Leaders conference?
Any more than 12 followers is too many…..
I’m David Hodgson Rector of All Saints Wokingham and on Twitter I’m @dphodgson with 54 followers
Great list and blog Peter.
I’m CofE but on secondment to New Zealand:
@richjohnson St Paul’s Auckland (www.stpauls.org.nz)
Also worth adding:
@joeyjep London College of Fashion chaplain
@jonmarch HTB
Thanks!
*koff*
CofE on long-term secondment to Australia and then who knows?
@davidould
*/koff*
I believe you were ordained in Sydney. Not sure that counts…
:-)
yeah, I’d like to meet the first bishop who tries to pull that one…
Seriously though, you can’t be on secondment from the CofE if you weren’t ordained in the CofE.
what, you don’t become proper CofE until you’re ordained?!
You don’t become clergy in the Church of England until you’re ordained in the Church of England or come over here.
Great site – great page – great idea.
I am a Catholic priest in Stoke-on-Trent and so far as we can find out one of only three Catholic clergy who are currently tweeting in the UK.
On the numbers as they currently stand it would seem that I would take second place on your league table … not that I am bragging of course!
God bless all you in all your work.

Hi Peter
Seems to have slipped off the list – probably my own fault for changing my user name. ‘pgw71’ became ‘paulwalker71’ (ostensibly to match my Facebook and other social media user profiles)
Think I probably should be well up in the clergy list with my 340-ish followers :)
Blessings
Paul Walker
Fixed!
Hi, I can't see my husband on that list. He is @RevJohnBridge on Twitter. :-)
This list is about two years out of date. He's certainly on the list now!
Where is the latest list then? … With numbers?
Click on the "Twurch of England" menu item at the top of the page and you'll see the latest incarnation.
