- Come and See! ~ Northern Bishops' Mission under way in the Diocese of York
The Northern Bishops' Mission to the Diocese of York is well-and-truly under way after yesterday's Commissioning Service at York Minster, where Archbishop of York Dr John Sentamu welcomed and sent out teams from across the Church of England's northern province and beyond, to scatter across the Diocese between today and Sunday to spread the invitation to 'Come and See' Jesus!
John 1:35-39a: The First Disciples of Jesus
The next day John again was standing with two of his disciples, and as he watched Jesus walk by, he exclaimed, ‘Look, here is the Lamb of God!’ The two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus. When Jesus turned and saw them following, he said to them, ‘What are you looking for?’ They said to him, ‘Rabbi’ (which translated means Teacher), ‘where are you staying?’ He said to them, ‘Come and see.’ They came and saw where he was staying, and they remained with him that day. It was about four o’clock in the afternoon.

"My prayer is that each of us will wake up with the power of witnessing to Jesus!" said the Archbishop.
"Friends, thank you for coming; thank you for helping us to point towards Jesus!"
