Come & quiz our link bishops

At the end the link bishops’ visit to the diocese (see here), there’ll be a unique opportunity to ask them questions on Sunday 9 April at Leeds Minster.

In a panel discussion (chaired by Bishop Nick), come and learn about the challenges they face and what signs of hope they see in their particular global contexts. And find out what their impressions of the Diocese of Leeds are and what have they learned in their time away together.  

Bishop Nick says, “While the current political tendency is towards insularity and self-regard, these partnerships give us a unique opportunity to look through the eyes of the other.  

“To hear from Christians in very different contexts from our own can both challenge our prejudices and expand our faith. And as these links aren’t merely institutional connections but are based on relationships, we are able to be honest with each other.

"So I hope as many people as possible will come along for what will be a very thought-provoking forum”.

Canon Sam Corley, Rector of Leeds Minster, says, “As a Church at the heart of a vibrant city that welcomes people from all across the world to live, study and visit, we at the Minster are really looking forward to welcoming our link Bishops on 9 April.

“It's a tremendous opportunity for us to grow in understanding and fellowship as we explore together issues and concerns that affect us all through the lens of different contexts. It's a great example of what loving, living and learning is all about!”
