First it expresses my love for Cornwall in that it’s made using good Cornish tin. Second it“ expresses my passion for Christ as it shows him as he’s depicted on one of our ancient Celtic Crosses. I carry them both close to my heart. Those two passions lie at the heart of ‘The Saints’ Way’, which is not so much a strategy for us as a diocese (though it is that) but more a way for us to walk in together that enables us to express those commitments in practical ways. It’ll be a central feature of our autumn roadshows. In particular it calls us to be: A Church that conspicuously celebrates children and young people at its heart A Church that unashamedly embraces an innovative pioneering culture A Church that is increasingly confident in its calling A Church that rejoices in strong, warm and mutually encouraging international links A Church that rejoices in the generosity of God I hope you can see how some of these connect directly with things highlighted here in this prayer diary. The people of Lebanon are Cornwall’s ancient trading partners and our plans to establish a link with them are all the more urgent in the wake of the terrible explosion in Beirut; ‘Transforming Mission’ gives us a wonderful opportunity to develop an innovate pioneering culture – and so on. Do join with me in making all five of these commitments a focus for our prayer together in this season.
