A video clip of Bishop Peter’s 2024 Christmas message for the Anglican Diocese of Christchurch. “Read more” for the transcript.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Thank you for all you have been doing in the Diocese throughout this past year: praying, serving, worshipping, witnessing – thank you.
As we reflect on the year past, there’d been lots of things going on.
I’m struck by this thought: “Christ came as the Prince of Peace”. And in our world, we are not at peace. There are too many wars. Among all the prayers this Christmas, can we pray especially hard for peace to come: To Ukraine, to the Middle East, to Sudan, and to other parts of the world.
May it be truly, Christ is the Prince of Peace.
