1100th Anniversary > Bishops in Mission

 

From the end of April our three Bishops will be going out across the county to live, listen, talk and be with the people of Devon. In the same spirit as Eadwulf, the first Bishop of Devon in 909, Bishops Michael, Bob and John are setting out to strengthen the faithful, restore the lapsed and find the lost. Spending four days in each deanery, the Bishops will be encouraging church leaders, calling out those who are looking to serve God in their community in a new role, telling the Christian story afresh in a variety of venues and baptising and confirming new disciples of Jesus. Hog roasts, gatherings on the beach, up the tor, by rivers and in the market place - this will be an opportunity for local churches to demonstrate to their communities the inclusive love of God as seen in Jesus Christ.

Please pray for them and the people in each area: That God's spirit may change lives and bring communion.
