Archbishop of York
@CottrellStephen
I’m the 98th Archbishop of York serving the diocese of York and the dioceses of the Northern Province of the Church of England.
“Taizé is an amazing place of encounter, an encounter with God, an encounter with God’s church from every corner of the world, every nationality, every language.”
It was a privilege to lead a workshop here at @taize and share in conversation with young people from around the world. Together we explored lines of the Lord’s Prayer we find most challenging. @LeedsCofE @DioceseOfYork




A joy to be with pilgrims from the Northern Province here in Taizé today. Hearing their stories was deeply encouraging. May they return home renewed in spirit and ready to share God’s love wherever they are.


Today I’ve celebrated Mass at the village church in @taize. Grateful for the welcome of this remarkable community. May the spirit of unity and peace of this place inspire and flow into the life our church. @leedscofe @DioceseOfYork




Delighted to be joining Northern Pilgrims at Taizé this week. Taizé is a place of exploration, discovery, encounter and challenge. Please join me in praying that people will encounter and choose to follow Jesus Christ for themselves. @DioceseofYork @taize #taize #pilgrimage

“The water of faith is deep, but most of us learn to swim in the shallows. Each of our churches and all of our parishes is a school for disciples where people receive, experience and learn the way of Christ.” 🌊✝️ You can read my presidential address 👇 archbishopofyork.org/presidential-a…
