'God shares our darkness and our dreams'
In her Christmas message, the Bishop of Monmouth, Cherry Vann, says God shares our humanity and is with us in our darkness and agonies, as well as our dreams and aspirations.
‘Bishop’ comes from the Greek word for ‘overseer’. So a bishop is a senior Christian minister authorised to have oversight for God’s people. As well as duties given to deacons and priests, bishops confirm and ordain.
