Fighting inequality and leading in love

Published on: 2 December 2021

“One of the great joys of my life as a Christian is to get to be God’s hands and feet."

“I believe that includes speaking out and taking action on issues that he is passionate about, which is a key reason why I am so excited to be your new Diocesan Secretary,” explains Tim Sweeting.

“As a church, we need to be prophetic, now more than ever, and the fantastic thing is that whatever our situation, we can all play our part. Together, we can fight the inequalities in our society, across our urban and rural communities; we can enable everyone to feel included in the love of Christ and his church; and we can help protect this world he has given us to enjoy. I am looking forward to working with friends and colleagues across the Diocese over the coming years to do just that.”
