Then the leading priests kept accusing him of many crimes, and Pilate asked him, 'Aren’t you going to answer them? What about all these charges they are bringing against you?'  But Jesus said nothing, much to Pilate’s surprise. Mark 15:3-5 (NLT)

Have your say on the next Bishop of Southwark

A Message from the Diocese of Southwark
Our Diocesan Bishop – Bishop Christopher – will be retiring this summer, after many years of faithful leadership in our diocese. Because of this, we’re preparing to begin our search for the next Bishop of Southwark – and in doing so, we want to ensure that we hear the views of as many people as possible across our communities.

We’ve created a simple online survey – we’d love for you and those in your parish to fill it out. The survey is anonymous and should take no more than 5-7 minutes to complete.

PRAYER FOR THIS WEEKEND

Almighty God, you alone can bring into order the unruly wills and affections of sinners: Grant your people grace to love what you command and desire what you promise; that, among the swift and varied changes of the world, our hearts may surely there be fixed where true joys are to be found; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
