Encouragement and Support

The Visit of the Bishops of England and Wales to the Threshold (Ad Limina) of the Apostles, 25th January – 4th February 2010

We were all called to Rome – all 35 of us, four archbishops, 18 diocesan bishops, ten auxiliary bishops, including one retired, the Apostolic Administrator of the Ukrainian Church in Great Britain, the Apostolic Prefect of the Falkland Islands and one coadjutor bishop-elect – to the ‘threshold of the Apostles’. We were on pilgrimage to the tombs of Peter and Paul to renew our communion with the See of Peter, with his successor, Pope Benedict XVI and to have our faith confirmed. Read More »

Bishop Terry’s Pastoral Letter for Lent 2010

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

“If only I could start over again!” I find myself muttering this phrase to myself on so many occasions. A flippant comment that sounded quite funny while it was still in my head, but no sooner have I said it than I realise it might be hurtful or taken wrongly. “Oh, if only I could start over again!” Faced with a question that I find challenging, a situation about which I feel uncertain, a person with whom I feel insecure, I can say the wrong thing, behave awkwardly, give out the wrong signals and instead of stopping I dig a deeper hole or paint myself into a corner. “If only I could start over again!” Missed opportunities, messed up relationships, lack of clear thinking, complete misunderstandings, ill-advised decisions, painful consequences – “If only I could start over again!” Read More »

Bishop Terry’s Pastoral Letter for Advent 2009

Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ,

They used to say that the favourite pastime of the British was queuing. I am not sure how true that is in our days, but I do know that I seem to spend a lot of time waiting; waiting to be served, waiting for a train, waiting at the airport for the connecting flight. Despite the fast pace of modern life and the “instant” culture of present day living, waiting is something that at times occupies us all. Read More »
