DIOCESAN VISION
Diocesan Vision: What is the Lord Calling Us to Be and Do?
A WELCOME TO ALL
An event to welcome and celebrate refugees, asylum seekers and migrants to our diocese will be held at the Cathedral on Tuesday 18 June at 6.30pm. This event will celebrate the richness of our diocesan family by bringing together people of different nationalities who make their home here in the North East of England. We will have the opportunity to listen to people’s stories, celebrate their talents and recognise that we are better off when we welcome the strangers and make them our friends.
We will hear what the diocese has to offer and also see the gifts and talents of our new neighbours. During the event Bishop Stephen will receive, on behalf of the whole diocese, a Lampedusa Cross donated by CAFOD. This will then be housed in the cathedral as a sign of our commitment and welcome to those who are enriching life in our diocese.
SUMMARY OF AND RESPONSE TO LISTENING EXERCISES AND QUESTIONNAIRE
On our diocesan website, diocesehn.org.uk, you will find all of the summaries from the various listening exercises that have been running in the Diocese since the summer of 2023, along with the results of the Questionnaire for the Dicastery of Bishops Report from March 2023.
These are together with Bishop Stephen’s response to what has been presented to him. He reflects on the past, present and our future together.
