Bishop’s Pastoral Letter, Lent 2026

I am writing this second pastoral letter as we enter the season of Lent. According to the liturgical church calendar, Lent provides us with the opportunity for self-examination, prayer, fasting and repentance; and to read and meditate on God’s holy word (BCP, p 265) so that we may be adjusted to God's will. This lenten season, beginning on Wednesday, February 18, 2026, I invite you to join our faith community as we undertake a special journey of meditation on the commandment to love God and our neighbour, and consider the meaning of this fundamental recommendation in our daily lives as disciples. That’s why I have titled this message: ‘‘A call to conversion and to walking together’’.
