At Lambeth Palace tonight to host an event for The Children’s Society, bringing together groups to explore how we can collectively create a brighter future for children and young people. The @childrensociety do wonderful work, providing practical and emotional support to young people, and helping them find a way forward.
“The horrors of war are real. We remember them today. The cost and the sacrifice are real. We remember those who gave their lives for us. We commit ourselves to following the God who in Jesus Christ came down to earth, holding out to us the hope for real and lasting peace.”
I led today’s Daily Service on @BBCRadio4 Extra for Remembrance Day, which was recorded at Bishopthorpe Palace Chapel. You can listen back here 👇

Join with us in prayer this Remembrance Day. 🙏
ALT A prayer for Remembrance Day Lord of the nations, Saviour and judge of all: remove from human hearts all bitterness and hate, grant to those who have died in war your mercy and forgiveness and bring us all to the peace of your eternal Kingdom; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who suffered and died, and now lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, world without end. Amen.

Inter Faith Week began on Sunday, providing an important opportunity to strengthen relationships between people of different faiths and foster greater mutual understanding and respect. Such understanding begins with friendship. May I encourage all to take opportunities to build friendships with neighbours and nurture stronger relationships within our communities. #InterFaithWeek

On Remembrance Sunday, we remember with thanksgiving and sorrow those who gave their lives in the two World Wars, and in conflicts past and present. We will remember them. Let us pray for all who suffer as a result of conflict in the world today. In the name of Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace, let us pray for peace.
Delighted to confirm the election of the Rt Revd Toby Howarth as Bishop of Leeds following 5.30pm Evensong @York_Minster today. Bishop Toby’s passion for sharing the good news of the Gospel alongside his profound commitment to interfaith dialogue equip him to serve all those who call @leedscofe home.
We've had a fabulous and deeply moving few days in Hong Kong as guests of Archbishop Andrew Chan.
What has struck me most about the church in Hong Kong is the way its life and witness is built upon three pillars. First, is the worship of God, but flowing from that, is a great commitment to education and a great commitment to social justice.
I'm inspired by what I found here, and I thank God for our partnership in the Gospel.

After my time in Australia, it was a joy to make my first official visit as Archbishop of York to the Anglican Diocese of Hong Kong Island. Thank you to everyone who made me feel so welcome. It was a privilege to experience something of the rich life, ministry and witness of the Church in Hong Kong.

Privileged to join the Hong Kong Province for the 135th anniversary of All Saints Cathedral where I was invited to give a blessing, surrounded by clergy and friends from across the Anglican Church. We are part of a much bigger story: the one family of God, called to live faithfully and hopefully in every generation.
Joyful celebrations at St John’s Cathedral in Hong Kong on All Saints Day. Today we remember all whose lives have witnessed to the love of God — those whose names are known to us and the many whose names are known only to God.
“Through their poverty of spirit, the saints teach us about the power of the gospel to change lives. Their lives – ordinary, fragile and broken like ours – were changed and empowered by Christ…This can happen to us too. Our lives can be changed. God can do great things in us. We can be his saints."

A wonderful morning visiting Holy Trinity Cathedral and schools nearby, meeting people and seeing the life of the Church in Hong Kong.
One of the great joys of visiting churches in different parts of the Anglican Communion is seeing how the same faith is lived out in such different communities and contexts.
I’m grateful for the welcome, the conversations and the opportunity to learn from the ministry taking place here.

Today I visited Providence Gardens, seeing at first hand the Church’s commitment to serving people in some of the most challenging circumstances in the Province of Hong Kong.
From supporting people with disabilities to providing transitional housing for those experiencing poverty, these ministries are a reminder that Christian faith is lived out not only in our worship, but in the way we care for one another.
Delighted to be in the Province of Hong Kong on my first official visit and to be welcomed by Andrew Chan, Primate and Archbishop of Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui. So grateful for the welcome at Holy Trinity Cathedral and schools nearby, the conversations and the opportunity to learn from the ministry taking place here.

My chosen book for #Advent this year is ‘Walking with Angels' by Eleanor Sanderson, Bishop of Hull.
She encourages us to live with a greater consciousness of the interactions between heaven and earth, and to use the words of angels found in Scripture to pray for our communities.
Through the spiritual practice of prayer walking, this reflective guide encourages readers to slow down, step outside, and engage both body and spirit as you journey through the Advent season.
