Passing on the faith

10 Jul 2025 • From Bishop Richard Jackson

This week, Bishop Richard shares about a visit from a youth group from Brazil, which was full of energy, questions, and prayers for young people in our diocese.  Their passion sparks an important challenge: how can we shape church life to truly welcome the next generation?  Are we willing to change?

Bishop Richard reminds us again of [Archbishop] William Temple's well-known quote: “the church is the only organisation that exists primarily for the benefit of those who are not yet its members”. 'Will we embrace that challenge for ourselves?'

You can find a transcript of this week's video on the diocesan website.
