  • 27 February 2013 to the Clergy No 10 Copied to Diocesan Staff, Lay Chairs
    27 February 2013 To the Clergy No 10 copied to diocesan staff, lay chairs, and the clergy of Yaxley Deanery Dear friends Greetings to you as we journey through Lent. I look forward to seeing many of you on Maundy Thursday at the Cathedral and for lunch afterwards. God’s World and Ours I’m just back from four days walking in the Lake District, being refreshed and invigorated by God’s wonderful creation. Those who know the Lake District will realize that the phrase “God’s wonderful creation” isn’t completely accurate. The beautiful landscape reflects intensive human use over many generations: farming and mining, forestry and damming, life and leisure. What remains is a very remarkable place, but it reminds us that we as the pinnacle of God’s creation affect the rest of it very much – both for good and for ill. Even at the very local level of our gardens and churchyards we are making a difference. I do commend the various initiatives to encourage conservation on the land we are called to care for. Thank You I have written a piece for the March parish magazine resource, but I’m conscious that some clergy don’t see that, so I want to repeat the gist of it here. Last year saw another welcome rise in our parish share collection rate despite the clear beginnings of the government’s austerity policies. I am very grateful to all involved in that, not least to the clergy who faithfully teach giving as part of discipleship. Thank you. Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby is now Archbishop of Canterbury, and his public duties will begin following his enthronement on 21 March.
