25/12/2009 - Christmas Letter from Bishop Victoria

Dear Friends,

As we move from Advent into the full celebration of Christmas, I give thanks for all of you and rejoice with you in the birth of Christ the Lord. Let’s put worries about theologically misleading billboards aside and give thanks for God’s participation in the conception and birth of the Lord Jesus Christ, born of Mary, in poverty and obscurity, yet the Saviour of the world. May your worship this Christmas be joyful, and may time taken with family and friends be filled with laughter and fellowship. Thank you for inviting me to come among you as your bishop. I give thanks to God for every remembrance of you.

I also will be taking some holidays in January but can be reached if needed at bpvmatthewsATgmailDOTcom

In Christ,

+Victoria
