From Cloud to Fire, Ascension to Pentecost 2016, Has Launched the Preparations for the Centenary of the Diocese of Coventry, Which We Will Be Celebrating in 2018 The%Diocesan%Centenary% Our pilgrimage From Cloud to Fire, Ascension to Pentecost 2016, has launched the preparations for the Centenary of the Diocese of Coventry, which we will be celebrating in 2018. ! Our Centenary is a time for us to celebrate and to strengthen our shared identity, as Christians in many churches across Warwickshire and Coventry. As a diocese we have a common purpose: worshipping God, making new disciples, transforming communities. From Cloud To Fire Our shared identity helps us to unite to prayerfully work for this common purpose. Three characteristics make up our identity: Renewal, Generous Relationships and Reconciliation This year, 2016, is our year to pray for renewal – in our own faith and lives, in our worship together, and in mission to our communities. The pilgrimage of prayer we have begun together is something for each of us to take forward for ourselves and in our churches, to continue to seek God’s guidance and strength for our own journeys and for our witness to those around us. 2017 is our year to pray for generous relationships with one another, and across our churches. In 2018 we will be celebrating our centenary, focussing on reconciliation.
