As I conclude eight years serving as Bishop of a Diocese I love, I am deeply grateful to God for all I have shared in ministry with people and communities across this great city. You have shaped me into the priest and the person I am today. Photo credit: Graham Lacdao / St Paul’s Cathedral

Sending well wishes to @bishopSarahM after her final service @StPaulsLondon on Saturday. Will miss your requests for the Chilcott Jazz Mass when I’m singing with the Cathedral Consort & so glad it was on the menu for your final service! Photo from your visit to Bourne Street!

On Sat 17 Jan at @StPaulsLondon, we gathered for a Sung Eucharist giving thanks for the ministry of @bishopSarahM. We worshipped in gratitude for her faithful leadership, care for our city, and witness to Christ. We’re holding Bishop Sarah in our prayers for the season ahead.

A significant occasion at @StOlaveHartSt on Thursday for the institution of the Revd Philip Dawson as Rector. His gift for building relationships in the City will be a blessing as his ministry begins in this historic parish.

We were delighted to host a farewell reception at Guildhall for the Bishop of London @BishopSarahM @dioceseoflondon. We’re grateful to her extraordinary commitment and service to the City and beyond, including to communities of all faiths. Wishing her well as she becomes Archbishop of Canterbury.

Happy New Year!

“Joy is born exactly where despair expects to triumph.” This Christmas Day at @StPaulsLondon , Bishop Sarah preached of a joy strong enough for the world as it is - a joy born in crowded places, when we make room for one another. Happy Christmas. May the joy of Christ be born anew in us today.

May the joy of the angels, The eagerness of the shepherds, the perseverance of the wise men, The obedience of Mary and Joseph, And the peace of the Christ Child be yours this Christmas.

The Multi-Faith Chaplaincy at @HeathrowAirport provides valuable support throughout the year to the Heathrow’s many employees and passengers, including spiritual, emotional, and practical care. It was fantastic to join the team on Tuesday to see how they are blessing passengers and the airport community.

This Christmas, churches across the @dioceseoflondon are demonstrating God’s love to their communities. I had the privilege to see some of it in action at @PerivaleChurch, which is hosting the Ealing Churches Winter Night Shelter. The emergency shelter provides food, warmth and companionship every night from November to March each year, working with 20 churches and 200 volunteers.
