O You Who’ve gone on Pilgrimage
Come, Come, Whoever You Are, Come
Ours is not a caravan of despair.
Ours is a Journey of Hope

and your beauty is one
And it is to your beauty

‘It is hope which can give meaning to life and which will give us the courage to continue on our way into the future together.’
And this is why HOPE is truly what the world is yearning for this Christmas
We must remain positive. We must remain hopeful
We must not despair, we must walk on
'In short, although, this is a turbulent era; paradoxically, it is also a period of tremendous opportunity, a time of enormous Hope for creating a much better future for ourselves, our children and grandchildren, our community, our country, our world. We need to see this Hope for a better future and play our part in building it.'

‘Coventry has a history of triumphing against adversity, of coming together with a fierce but quiet pride. We love our city and all too often have listened to others putting it down but now is the time to invite the world to venture past our beloved ring road and into a city with a story to tell and experiences to share.
We weren’t sent to Coventry; we chose to come. Coventry is a city of welcome, a city of peace and reconciliation, a city of innovation and invention, a City of Culture.’ Coventry 2021

Coventry has been named as the next UK City of Culture in 2021, beating competition from Swansea, Stoke-on-Trent, Sunderland and Paisley.
My heartfelt congratulations and best wishes to Coventry, the city that inspired me to be who I am, and what I do.
“Father, Forgive” - these two words which I discovered at the ruins of Coventry Cathedral in 1973 changed the course of my life.
