His Majesty The King has approved the nomination of The Very Reverend Simon Robinson as the new Suffragan Bishop of Warrington. I welcome the appointment of Simon, who comes with many gifts to serve the people and parishes of @LivDiocese, and to bear witness to God in every place.

5 years ago, I was 'given my life back' through the gift of a generous stem cell donor. With other people around the world alive today, we give thanks for the generosity of others and the professionalism and care of all who work in the NHS
Advent Carols @guildfordcathedral last night was uplifting and inspiring. No better way to start the Advent season

Today marks the start of #Fairtrade Fortnight.
A chance to learn more about our world and to get involved in supporting their work building a fairer world and a sustainable future for people.
Thinking of children and young people going back to schools and colleges today, and their parents and teachers preparing for a new term.

We’re standing with all those receiving their GCSE results today across the diocese, especially the students from our 3 Church of England secondary schools.
Whatever the outcome of your results, know that God is with you and has a plan for you.

A Bench of (retired) bishops meeting to natter and chatter over lunch at Barge East. Great to meet up with old friends and colleagues
Thinking of students getting their exam results today and their parents and schools supporting, helping, guiding, and celebrating with them.

Creator God,
you made us all in your image:
may we discern you in all that we see,
and serve you in all that we do;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Made my first visit to Knepp Wilding yesterday to see the storks. Spotted a Purple Emperor. They are quite rare and spend most of their time in the tops of trees. With all that's happening in the world at the moment I can't blame them.

Holy God, faithful and unchanging: enlarge our minds with the knowledge of your truth, and draw us more deeply into the mystery of your love, that we may truly worship you, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.
