The Rt Revd Stephen Lake has shared his first festive thoughts
The Bishop of Salisbury has put out his first ever Christmas message to the Diocese.
As we get closer to Christmas Day, the Rt Revd Stephen Lake has been looking back at the festive season over the past few years and offering his thoughts.
In his festive address to us all, Bishop Stephen mentions lockdowns, the war in Ukraine, and the cost of living crisis.
His Diocese covers Salisbury and South Wiltshire, Dorset, part of the New Forest and even as far as the Channel Islands.
He was consecrated here in April 2022, making this his first Christmas here.
