Vicarage Notes

Dear friends,

The Archbishop of Canterbury elect, Justin Welby, was Rector of Southam from 1995-2002 before going to work at Coventry Cathedral. We wish him well as he prepares for a new and challenging ministry. I am sure he still values the formative years of working in a real parish in our Diocese.

He, with all members of the Christian family worldwide, will want to see the transforming power of living faith in the world, and an end to the internal matters that probably drained some of Rowan Williams energy! The first part of the well-known Prayer of St.Francis would surely be appropriate, and specially so as we look to celebrate the Nativity of Christ – of love come down to earth.

Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace;
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
Where there is sadness joy.

On behalf of Martin Bill and all the team,

HAPPY CHRISTMAS

Best wishes and God bless,

Nicholas Morgan
