Yeah it is, so my main job is I'm the Bishop of Kensington which is a kind of wedge of West London from Harrods to Heathrow.

But at the moment, we don't have a diocesan bishop, so I'm acting as Bishop of London as well.

And this week, you've been here running a retreat on middling, and we'll get into that in a minute.
