Bishop Harold says ‘Thank you” to the diocese
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ in the Diocese of Down and Dromore,
I do not know how to thank you adequately for our fellowship in Christ over the last 22 years, and particularly for your generous gift presented to me after the service in Down Cathedral to mark my retirement. It was kind beyond words.
Both Liz and I have received an abundance of letters, cards, emails and gifts from so many over the last month. We may not be able to thank all of you personally but want you to know that your thoughtfulness has meant a great deal.
I will miss being your bishop but am glad that the Lord has found us a retirement home in the diocese. Please pray for the new bishop to be chosen. I know that you will give your new overseer the same love and support that you have given us.
“And now I commend you to God and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified.”
I continue to hold you all in my prayers.
God be with you.
Sincerely in Christ
+Harold Down and Dromore
