'..a very special aspect (of the course) has been the way that it has brought together lay Anglican people from across the diocese, including some countries that are going through great difficulties. And helped us to feel, in a very real way, part of one diocese, part of each other.'

Clare Amos, the Diocesan Director of Lay Ministry, included these words of welcome at the annual online Service of Celebration for the Diocese in Europe's popular Walking Together in Faith course which was held yesterday.   

Bishop Robert awarded certificates to the 13 successful candidates, who are part of chaplaincies across the diocese.  He remarked that;

'Theological wisdom is something that all of us should endeavour to grow in, the lay learning course is a marvellous way of doing that.'
