‘As people of hope, we believe things can always get better’

After presiding at the Nine Lessons and Carols service at Brentwood Cathedral on Sunday, Bishop Alan Williams recorded a Christmas message to be broadcast on BBC Essex and on our website.

In it, he wishes all in our diocese and beyond festive blessings over the Christmas Season and for the New Year.

He also talks about the forthcoming Jubilee year, explaining its theme of ‘Pilgrims of Hope’. The year will be inaugurated by the Pope this Christmas. Read more below:
