Bishop John Sentamu was a great character. I do not think I have seen anyone cause Roy Crowne to be lost for words in the 15 years that I have known him. Bishop John did!

In his devotion he ran us through the letter of Philippians. His whole theme was entitled ‘Celebrating our oneness in Christ’. He reminded us that this meant that we were to have Christ at the centre of everything we do.

Christ at the centre of our living (1:21)

Christ at the centre of our thinking (2:5)

Christ at the centre of our planning and motivation (3:14)

Christ at the centre of our rejoicing and thanksgiving (4:4-5)

Christ as the centre of all I do, of all I am, of all I think, of all I desire, of all my hope.
