union of Christ’s faithful in faith, hope and love. I am often struck by how often Saint Paul in his letters exhorts the Christian faithful to love each other, to bear with each other, and to remain united. May this always be the way in the Diocese of Armidale.
I now say farewell to you with the words from Saint Paul which an Anglican friend quoted to say goodbye to me: “Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord because you know that your labour in the Lord is not in vain.”(1 Corinthians 15:58) thank you
Although I now say goodbye we remain united in prayer. May God bless you all.
We thank Bishop Michael for his pastoral care of the Diocese of Armidale over the past 11 years. His dedication, compassion and warmth will be sorely missed.
We know how lucky the Maitland/ Newcastle Diocese are to have you and we wish you many blessings in your new appointment.
