Incumbent’s Report for the AGM February 2019

“Is nothing sacred?” I can’t remember the last time that I heard this question. Throughout history (until now) human beings have marked the course of life with sacred events. As Christians these sacred events have been: baptism, confirmation, marriage, sacraments for the sick and dying and burial of the dead. This is all within the context of our weekly Eucharist. In our culture, these things have faded; and, as we can also see, if we deny the sacredness of things (and of human life itself) we begin to treat life carelessly.

 

Brothers and Sisters,  

 

As you can see, we are devoting this year to the theme of “Building the Body of Christ”. We believe that these words from St Paul describe where we are being led during the upcoming year.
