Christmas messages from our bishops
The Archbishop of Wales and Bishop of Bangor
Archbishop Andrew John acknowledges that Christmas can be a difficult and painful time for those who are lonely or grieving. But God's message is one of hope and he urges us to seek out signs of light, love and joy.
Bishop of St Asaph
Bishop Gregory Cameron urges us to tackle the 'stubborn parts' of our lives, by living into more kindness and generosity, like the changed Scrooge in Dickens' A Christmas Carol.
Bishop of Monmouth
It’s in the small acts of kindness and compassion, the hidden gestures of generosity and selflessness, the seemingly irrelevant lives of goodness and faithfulness, of worship and prayer that God reveals God’s self and touches the world in love and blessing, says Bishop Cherry Vann
Bishop of Swansea and Brecon
All can be changed in a moment if we heed the knock and open the door to the one who will make our Christmas truly complete, says Bishop John.
Bishop of Llandaff
Our calling at Christmas is to be fully alive to God's presence, says Bishop Mary Stallard. Our challenge is not to pack Christ away after the festivities but to keep Him with us always.
Bishop of St Davids
Jesus offers us peace, joy, hope and life itself - virtues the world greatly needs at this time, says Bishop Dorrien Davies
Bishop of Bardsey
Bishop David Morris pays tribute to Welsh ambulance crews, police officers, firefighters and volunteers who sacrifice their Christmas celebrations to keep communities safe. The Christmas story speaks to those under pressure, he says.
