Launde Retreat 2021
A Reflection from Sandy Riley
What!!! Subordinate!!!! What a hoohaa, this word caused
the first evening. After a lot of debate on the negative side
of the word and then the positives given in response, the
weekend took on a different feeling. I felt that I wanted to
go home when the negativity started, as I have enough of
that at home; but I found my voice and gave some positivity

Some Thoughts and a Prayer from Malcolm Knapp…
My ‘takeaway’ as a newcomer to the Diocese was this. We, the laity, are the Diocese. It is the way of Anglicanism, we must
communicate this clearly and without any fear to everyone. No one should live in fear of their lead chair; that is not the way of
God. This will strengthen our churchmanship, focus our Christian living and giving, and strengthen us in ministry. We all have God
given skills and roles in which we can exercise them, we are ‘subordinate’ (in the true meaning on the word) to God, to each other
and to His kingdom. Our life with God is personal and corporate, we are in fellowship and communion. (click or tap title to

In this season of Advent I say Maranatha, Emmanuel, help me look, listen and learn. Make me joyful. As our Diocesan office
becomes a Parish Resource Centre teach us to communicate, collaborate and make clear the path that leads to your kingdom,
here on earth. Amen.
