2 The cross I wear around my neck expresses two key passions of mine. First it expresses my love for 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.

SUNDAY 13 DECEMBER INTERNATIONAL MIGRANTS DAY (18 DECEMBER) Heavenly Father, as we think of the challenges that Mary and Joseph faced on their journey to Bethlehem, so we pray for your grace and close presence with us in the challenges of the journeys we face at this time: as individuals, families, communities and nations. We pray too for a greater international will to show compassion to all refugees and economic migrants, that the many hardships and suffering they face, especially during this Coronavirus pandemic, may be alleviated.

SUNDAY 20 DECEMBER CHRISTMAS PRAYER This week, as we prepare to celebrate together the birth of Christ, the Prince of Peace, we pray for all those in any kind of need. We pray for those who are alone, cold or hungry, that they may be blessed through the kindness and generosity of others. We pray for those who are sick, that they may know God’s healing and wholeness. We pray for those who are dying, that they may know God’s gentle touch. We pray for those who mourn, that they may be comforted. We pray for those who are in despair, that their hope may be renewed. We pray that we might be channels of God’s blessing, so that all people everywhere may come to know the peace and love of God.
