As part of the celebrations of organising the Christian Calendar at Nicaea in 325, Ash Wednesday and Christmas will be moved to a Sunday and Easter Day will be fixed. This intends to make the Church Year fit for purpose in this Third Millennium. You are invited to have your say in these developments.

‘The term “convert” should be reserved strictly for those converted from unbelief to Christian belief and NEVER used of baptized Christians’ – whatever their denominational background – as they commit, for example, to Roman Catholicism.
Almighty God,
through your Son Jesus Christ
You overcame death and opened to us
the gate of everlasting life;
grant us so to die daily to sin,
that we may evermore live with him
in the joy of his resurrection:
who lives and reigns with you
and the Holy Spirit,
one God now and for ever.
Amen.

Almighty everliving God,
as an example of humility for the human race,
you sent our saviour to become incarnate
and to submit to the cross,
grant us the grace to learn from this patient suffering
and so to share in the resurrection;
through Jesus Christ
who is alive with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
Amen

Look graciously on your household,
we implore you, O God, [or Almighty God]
that by your great goodness we may be governed in body
and, through your protection, kept safe in mind and heart;
through our Saviour Jesus Christ,
who is alive with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God now and for ever.
Amen.
