2nd January 2025
Today is the Feast of St Basil the Great and St Gregory of Nazianzus both of whom were bishops and teachers of the faith. It is also the feast day of Vedanayagam Samuel Azariah, a 20th century bishop in South India, which is a reminder that saints and holy people are not just from the ‘old days’. All three remind us that as a Church – as Christ in the world – we have a role to play in providing leadership and pastoral care and in teaching – and this must embrace our relationship with the environment, with all our brothers and sisters, with the whole world so loved by God.
