In his address to the ten candidates, Bishop Poyntz spoke on the
subject of faith and emphasising that Jesus is the only one in
whom we can utterly and completely trust. He said that faith
needs care, attention and nourishment and spoke of the need to
nourish our faith through worship, prayer, and communion and
also to mature in our faith through the study of the Scriptures.
He concluded by instructing the candidates to proclaim the good
news of God in Christ and seek and serve Him in all people,
loving your neighbour as yourself.
