Cornwall – The Land of the Saints

I have the great privilege of living in Truro which is a delightful Cathedral City that has managed to preserve that ‘small market town’ feel, located in the County of Cornwall in the South West of England. Cornwall is known as the ‘Land of the Saints’ and is steeped in Celtic Christian tradition. Christianity has flourished [...]

As I am writing this article, I am just recovering from the Walsingham National Festival, this year held on the early May Bank Holiday. As usual it was the wonderfully uplifting event it always is with the added joy of being the first one for three years! It was great to meet up once again [...]

Greetings from the Diocese of Birmingham

The area which our two parishes serve is basically one huge council [...]

The Real Message of Easter by Father David Fisher

‘When you die, that’s it. Nothing. Out like a light!’ That’s what the man in the pub said, and his mates all nodded, though the one whose mother had died the week before wasn’t really quite so certain. Still, it seemed to make sense. After all, we know what ‘dead’ means: dead leaves, dead batteries, [...]

The Way Through The Wilderness

Looking back to Lent 2020, in my parishes here in Torquay we embarked on “The Way Through the Wilderness” as our course for the season. The aim was to look at how people encounter God in the desert places and seasons of life. Then the first COVID lockdown occurred, and we were brought into the [...]

Gloucester Area Report

It was a great honour for Fr. Robert to be appointed by Bishop Jonathan as his representative in the Diocese of Gloucester - on a zoom call during Lockdown!
