"We see growing number of visitors at our Sunday services because saying joint prayer, singing in a choir, reading and meditation on the God’s Word make healing effect on stressed humans. Tea and fellowship afterwards contribute to the sense of safe and friendly community. Hospitality and peaceful atmosphere revive people after stressful hours spent in the inner corridors at night" - Christina, Church Warden at Christ Church Kyiv 

"The followers of Jesus Christ are called to be peacemakers. His followers are not just to be peace lover, but peace makers." Revd Kasta Dip, chaplain of Warsaw and Kyiv

A service of prayer for Ukraine was held on Zoom on 19th February 2025. Over 200 Christians from right across our diocese and beyond joined in unity and fellowship to pray on what was the third anniversary of the invasion of Ukraine.

Bishop Robert Innes led the moving service, in which we heard reflections from Christina Stafiychuk-Laschenko Churchwarden in Kyiv, and Revd Kasta Dip, chaplain of Warsaw with oversight for Kyiv.

A particularly poignant time was when those in attendance left messages of peace in the chat function.  These are transcribed into the recording.

Also at the service, Bishop Robert introduced his Lent Appeal for this year, which is to help support refugees across our diocese.
