A New Year Message From the Bishop

January takes its name from the Roman god, Janus, who is usually depicted as having two faces, looking both to the future and the past. At the start of a New Year it is good to do the same. 2020 will sadly be remembered as the year disrupted by COVID-19. Cracks in our care for each other have been revealed and it has had a disproportionate effect on those already vulnerable or deprived. It He teaches that the first shall be showed us that those who are last and the last first. He most essential to our needs, reconciles humanity to God those who clean and serve through his death and and care, are often those One resurrection. valued least in our economy. However, we also saw more As we look forward to 2021, extraordinary acts of we need to think again what kindness and compassion, as step it means to follow Christ and churches and communities to build our lives and worked together to provide communities based on mutual comfort, support, and practical care. love, respect and service. ‘For the Son of Man did not come to be served So, what of 2021? The temptation but to serve and to give his life as a may be to forget what we have learnt, ransom for many.’ to paper over the cracks, ignore what has been uncomfortable and to seek May we all know the Lord’s leading comfort in the familiar. I hope we and guiding as we step out into a don’t. 2020 opened our eyes to the New Year. harm caused when people are With my warmest greetings, excluded on the basis of race, ability, gender, sexual orientation or wealth.  Bishop Peter Jesus calls us to a better way. Jesus broke the bounds of exclusion, refusing to accept the social norms Speak your kind words soon, for you and speaking to Samaritans, women, never know how soon it will be too late.

Interview How do you feel about this year’s - Archdeaconry Day activity being God calls everyone! online? Excited! Some people will be glad not to have to brave the January weather and can watch the videos we’ve created at home or, if they prefer, join in offline using the booklet. I have found the stories of prayer I have heard inspiring and I can’t wait to share them.

What would you say to someone thinking about taking on a lay role with their church? Have the courage to think about how God might be calling you and perhaps Rob Norman, Lay Dean for Portishead talk to people who know you well Deanery shares his passion for lay about it. Then perhaps chat to one of ministry. Hear how you can get our Chaplains for Discerning Calling, involved too… who can help you explore further. Email What inspired your passion? [email protected] for It comes from my belief that God details. created all of us, lay people and clergy alike, to be equal, and that we all have a part to play in God's world. Lay people live out their faith in many ways, by showing what it means to be Christian wherever they meet people - through their kindness and care for other people. Has 2020 seen any changes to lay ministry? People have been taking on leading roles in offering online services as well being out in the community, being part of the army of people supporting people during Covid. Online worship needs different skills and gifts from the usual ones in church and it’s been great to see lay people involved in this way.
