A March blog post from Lauren, one of our Ordinands: Is it just me or can you feel Spring springing? Now and then a sweet-smelling breeze or a renegade blossoming tree reminds me that winter, frost and storms are not forever. They remind me that scraping my car windows at 5.00am ready for the long drive to college will soon […]

Sara, one of our lay readers, writes: Dear Friends I am writing this in Canada.  Around Toronto where I am staying, the most amazing and beautiful thing is to see the trees in the Fall (Autumn!).  The maple trees on the hillsides and in the streets turn deep oranges and reds, the colours of a million different sunsets displayed leaf […]

Will writes: Dear Friends, Who are you called to be? We are a society of do-ers. We find it easy to know and find our purpose in doing something.

Not one I received, but one I signed. It was my first ever time going to any sort of Christian gathering, a church youth group, and I […]

In her own words she describes herself as experiencing ‘the depths of the love of God, who is willing to go to any lengths to be with us’. She had […]

Dear Friends I hope you had a Happy Easter. Now we look forward to the end of the month when we will celebrate the feast of our Lord’s Ascension. In the past maybe it was easier than it is now to live with mystery, with an acknowledgement that there are some things we cannot explain. With mundane things it can […]

Dear Friends, I write this having returned in the last few days from Ascension’s visit to Naminage.  A personal highlight was joining other Christians to worship in many diverse settings.  We joined the community at St Andrews, Naminage for an All Age service, I also preached in Busoga Diocese Cathedral Church, Bugembe.  This was the cathedral founded by the late […]
