"Simply telling individuals that they must repent of their personal sins to be acceptable to God and God’s people is a distortion of the forgiveness that should be shaping us together into communities of love, restoration, transformation and wholeness." - Simon Woodman

'Advent is more than preparing to celebrate the birth of Jesus long ago. Advent invites us to prepare for Christ who continues to enter the world. Christ comes every time fear is met with courage, every time loneliness is met with welcome, every time hatred is answered with love, every time injustice is confronted with collective power. Christ comes when we act in faith. The Word continues to become flesh in us. And so we wait.' - Revd Dr Simon Woodman.
