In place of Start the Month, today the Diocese is delighted to share with you Bishop Paul's Christmas Message.

This year, alongside the Bishop's Christmas message, there is also a new parable short film created to reach out to audiences far and wide.

The story of the Prodigal Son is one of Jesus’ most well-known parables, and its invitation to ‘come home’ is a compelling one, especially at Christmas. Wherever we find ourselves in this season, we are invited to find our true home with God, because God made his home with us. Our hope and prayer is that the Holy Spirit will work through this film and through Bishop Paul’s message, sharing that invitation to come home with everyone who watches.

There will be a special Start the Day with Bishop Paul and Sarah on Christmas Eve.
