Paul Marriott, the editor, has supplied the following details:

"The new year is traditionally time for taking stock and making a few changes in our lives. If you’re doing that – Good luck, it’s always tough and from experience the temptation to give up is probably at its strongest come early February but stick at it – if you can.

This month we’ve a real mixed selection of features to start the new year off. We hear from some hardy soul’s who’ve braved the cold and the blisters to walk the Two Kingdoms Way from Lindisfarne to Lichfield, find out how parishioners in Shropshire are taking advantage of cash grants to keep warm and the Christmas festivities may be over but there is another winter custom that the church celebrates at this time of year.

Add to that our usual look at what’s on at Lichfield Cathedral, our regular review of diocesan and parish news including how a church in Walsall is using Lego to get people interested in the bible – yes you heard me correctly, plus it may be winter but there’s lots to see in your garden and in the churchyard as nature never sleeps.

We’ll also take time out to get under the skin of the Eucharist and learn what its all about and why its central to the life of the church."

Paul Marriott, the editor, has supplied the following details:

"This month we have a fascinating insight into how people who are blind and partially sighted are being given some extra help and life experiences in Africa.
There’s another short story by Nigel Oakley, a trip into the churchyard to hear the hullabaloo of a rather noisy visitor, some soothing music from Peter Howard and a look at Lichfield Cathedral’s less than peaceful past.
Plus your letters, the news from the parishes of the Lichfield Diocese and the final part of our landmark poetry readings of AE Housman’s “A Shropshire Lad.”

The Diocesan Digest was founded in 1989. It is the Sound Magazine for our Cathedral and the Diocese. It is produced and run by volunteers and is a registered charity - number 702995.
