News From The Vestry - 07/01/25

The Enchantment Has Begun - All Hail, The Staff!

Howdy Pyro-Partners!

This week I want to

  • Apologise for being a bad correspondent.

  • Update you on The Pilgrimage (mainly in the video)

  • Update you on the early days of the social media campaign

  • Tell you about last week’s ritual which saw BL50 602575 £20 and DJ42 934307 £10 make the ultimate sacrifice (again, mainly the video)

“Get all my sub money back in Church Merch, you say? What a fabulous offer. Where do I sign up?” - Just below, mate. Terms apply.

Sorry for being slow with my replies

I hugely appreciate the feedback I get from here. I created The Vestry hoping for engagement and its great to hear your thoughts on all matters burny. With lots going on though I’m struggling to be a good correspondent. The three and a half days I have free from my day job go very fast. So whether you comment, or email me directly, please accept my apologies if my responses are tardy or not forthcoming at all. I do read everything. And so much of it sinks in and triggers other thoughts. Thank you.

Update The Pilgrimage

Like I say - watch the video for this (albeit ‘paid subscribers only’). I was intending to do the inaugural journey this week. But it felt a little rushed so I’ve left it until next week. Also the ritual I did on 1/1/25 felt like a sort of ‘conception’ for the pilgrimage. So in a sense, although no steps have been taken, the journey has already begun.

Social Media Campaign

Most of my energies have been focused on creating new content and scheduling it. I’m trying to work a little ahead of the game. So currently content is scheduled to 19th January across Tiktok, Instagram, Facebook, X.com and Youtube. I’ve added a few Substack Notes too (likes and comments on these would be especially welcome as I just can’t seem to crack the Substack audience/algorithm).

As it stands at the moment we’re only two or three days into the onslaught. The key thing is that most content is being shown to people unaware of CoB. In the past its always been very hard to break out of preaching to the same audience. That’s no good for CoB or for our dedicated parishioners (they surely get fed up with the sound of my voice!).
