Give us today our daily bread
We are bombarded 24/7 by adverts with just one aim - to make us unhappy with what we have. Our relationship with stuff has gone badly wrong, and our greed is destroying this fragile planet.

A world-shaking event
Bishop Steven's address to Diocesan Synod in March 2022, focusing on the atrocities in Ukraine and our call to be a more Christ-like Church.

Your kingdom come, Your will be done, On earth as in heaven
Every day the news reminds us of the threads of evil in the world. But the difficult things in life are not the end of the story.

Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name
Your life is not some kind of cosmic accident. You do have a place in this world. The first line of the Lord’s Prayer can help you find it.

Sermon from Christ Church

Navigating well
Bishop Steven reflects on our calling to show the world love and hope even in the midst of sorrow and sickness and looks ahead to the invitation to come and see more of faith this Lent.

Freedom of Speech
Words can be an immense blessing but, when amplified through social media, also weapons of mass destruction to people and societies.

Distinctive

Rooted in God the Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit
The future of humankind is not unlimited enhancement, mechanisation and automation says Bishop Steven in his presidential address to Diocesan Synod. Artificial Intelligence has great potential but also carries significant jeopardy. Christians need to engage in an informed way as this technology develops for the sake of present and future generations, remembering that we have a distinctive understanding of human dignity and person hood and what it means to be human.
