We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

FROM THE PRIESTS IN CHARGE
"I’ve met so many who have lost so much. But they never lose their dreams for their children or their desire to better our world. They ask for little in return – only our support in their time of greatest need"
— UN Secretary-General, António Guterres
Refugees are never far from the news headlines, it seems, but they are especially to the fore at the present moment with International Refugee Day earlier this week, and our Cathedral team of stalwarts – Ivica, Susannah, Caitlin and Joel – having just finished their days of living on refugee rations and raising $3483.10 in the process. Well done, team! This evening we have David Lawson of Christian World Service continuing the theme at Evensong.
Wellington’s Bishop Justin Duckworth went to Parliament on Refugee Day to encourage MPs to sign a pledge to double NZ’s current annual refugee intake to 1500. Our Anglican and Catholic Church leaders had earlier made such a plea, and declared the readiness of the Christian community to help this happen on the ground.
While the quota is set to increase to 1000 next year, this will only slightly raise NZ’s world rating of 96th, in terms of refugees accepted on a per capita basis.
Jesus, in his earliest years, knew the experience of having to flee to another country. His followers should be amongst the first to receive and welcome those who have nowhere to lay their heads.
