Certainly, I can remember no such period of speculation, preoccupation and (more worryingly) division. This does not just afflict our nation solely – the West seems to be in crisis. So where do we go from here? In fact, an excellent article I read recently by Jonathan Sachs, the former Chief Rabbi, seems to me to hit the nail on the head in commenting that the West has tried to build a world without identity and religion, and we are now reaping the whirlwind.

We want to build on this foundation, so as part of the diocesan strategy Advent 2016 will begin the Year of the Bible. Every parish is being asked as part of the strategy to “to have a credible but stretching target for numerical growth and to have a plan in place for Christian growth and nurture.” What could be better that to encourage all of us to know, love and follow more closely the Jesus who is revealed to us in its pages, both Old and New Testament. The Bible is not just a simple guidebook. It does set out the boundaries for holy living, but it is much more than that. Its grand story records God’s dealing with people over thousands of years and their reflections on that relationship.
