Message from the Revd Canon Dr Sandra Millar, 24 October 2023
A colleague was telling me recently how she had spent a whole day convinced that it was Tuesday, only to be assured in the late evening that it really was Thursday after all. How often we use phrases like ‘the last week has gone so quickly’ or ‘it feels like years since the holiday’? Time, and how we measure it, is strange. But time and how we feel it can be even stranger.

Message from Bishop Rachel, 28 February 2023
I suspect that if you have given anything up for Lent it probably isn’t the mirror. Most of us during Lent will look in the mirror at least once a day, and I wonder if this in itself might be the reminder we need to allow Lent to be a time when we look beyond the surface of our external reflection and discover more of who we are within, and who God is, who knows us inside out and loves us.
