He is also Bishop to the Armed Forces, a position he will continue to hold as Bishop of Worcester. Bishop Hugh is married to Lizzie, and they have four children in their teens and 20s. It is expected that Bishop Hugh will be installed at Worcester Cathedral in the New Year.
Contact details: It has been suggested that LMP should hold a contact telephone number for a named relative/friend of members of the congregation, for use in case of illness in church or other emergency. Obviously, to comply with Data Protection, we would need that contact’s written permission, and such details would be held securely in church. If you feel this would be beneficial for you, please speak to Stephen or Alison.

A thought from C.S. Lewis – ‘Mere Christianity’:
Do not waste time bothering whether you ‘love’ your neighbour; act as if you did. As soon as we do this we find one of the great secrets. When you are behaving as if you loved someone, you will presently come to love him. If you injure someone you dislike, you will find yourself disliking him more. If you do him a good turn, you will find yourself disliking him less.
