A farewell gift for Bishop Viv - Message from Bishop Neil
Dear sisters and brothers in Christ. On Saturday 30 August 2025 we will say farewell to Bishop Viv at a special afternoon service in Bristol Cathedral. Further details about this gathering will follow. I know, from my visits around our diocese, that +Viv’s episcopal leadership and ministry during these last seven years have been appreciated far and wide. Churches and individuals may want to contribute to a thank you and farewell gift to Bishop Viv and her husband Michael. This gift will express our gratitude for all that they have been to us and all they have shared with us. If you would like to contribute to their farewell gift, you can do so via this Collection pot link: https://email.bristoldiocese.org/c/AQiX2hUQjb5fGLjG5DQgo9-TCAX6jBZd9xfhb_X4lkMGihIyA1pnNZnn1iEaW8xZa1RK. If you want to send a card with a personal message, please post it to my office in Swindon (Rt Revd Neil Warwick, Bishop of Swindon, Mark House, Field Rise, Swindon, SN1 4HP) by 15 August 2025 and we will collate them. I look forward to seeing you in our Cathedral to bid a heartfelt farewell to +Viv. With every blessing
