SUPPLEMENT
Bishop’s Presidential Address
Bishop Christine recently gave an address to an open meeting of the Diocesan Synod. Click the picture to hear what she said.
Two thoughts on the Resurrection
“Jesus's resurrection is the beginning of God's new project not to snatch people away from earth to heaven but to colonize earth with the life of heaven. That, after all, is what the Lord's Prayer is about.”
― N.T. Wright, Surprised by Hope: Rethinking Heaven, the Resurrection, and the Mission of the Church
“Here the whole world (stars, water, air,
And field, and forest, as they were
Reflected in a single mind)
Like cast off clothes was left behind
In ashes, yet with hopes that she,
Re-born from holy poverty,
In lenten lands, hereafter may
Resume them on her Easter Day."
(Epitaph for Joy Davidman)”
