saw Coldplay last night at Earls Court - outstanding!

Advent

Flicked the switch and the room was bathed in warm light.

The outside remained dark and cold.

There was this moth – thirsty for a fix of light.

Desperate to throw herself at the light without considered consequence.

She drummed relentlessly on the window pain …

Time and time again

Time and time again

Time and time again

Exhausting.

Don’t give up searching and longing for the light

John Sentamu- Archbishop of York

I am thrilled to see the pictures of John Sentamu being enthroned as Archbishop of York. We have fond memories of the times he spent with us here at St Stephen's Canonbury when he was our Bishop.
I can't really think of anything to add to all the wonderful things that have been said and written about him recently. He's just an incredible man.

I took him to our local secondary school - the young people were mesmerised, he played drums in our band when we were short of a drummer on the church weekend away, he never watched us from afar but always rolled up his sleeves and got stuck in with us. I pray that he will do the same in his new role of Archbishop.
