Why did Revd Dr Jonathan Rowe choose ordination?
One of the key questions to ask Revd Dr Jonathan Rowe is why on earth would he want to take on more in his life to become a self-supporting curate? Jonathan is the Director of Ministry for the Diocese and until very recently was also Joint-Principal of the South West Ministry Training Course. The answer, […]

Because of the Covid19 crisis, it won’t be in the Cathedral with all the accompanying pomp, but it will be very special […]
The high calling of caring for the planet
As Bishop Philip recently said, caring for the planet is a very high calling. Caring for the planet was a calling that George Dow answered from an early age. But becoming a pioneer in green Christian discipleship and co-chairing the charity Green Christian took a little longer. Today, for George, being a Christian and caring […]
