Visit to Deaneries by Bishops Tim and Christopher, Lent 2011

Bishop Tim and Bishop Christopher will visit the deaneries during Lent for a whole day this year. They will spend the morning and afternoon with the clergy of the deanery in prayer and discussion about the mission and ministry of the deanery. In the evening the Bishops have invited people on the fringe of Church life to come and meet them, to hear more of the Christian faith and to discuss issues of mutual concern. A prayer manual has been written especially for these visits, which can be downloaded here.
