One of the joys of worshipping in the Cathedral is that we get to host many international guests from around the Anglican Communion.<br />
This Friday we welcomed Bishop Suheil of Jerusalem and Bishop Michael Lewis of Cyprus and the Gulf along with our own Bishop Mouneer as President Bishop.<br />
<br />
Peter Nott was also Licensed as a Lay Reader.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: xx-small; line-height: 18px;">Thursday evening (6.30pm) sees a celebration and re-commissioning service at the end of a great Synod week. We've been challenged and encouraged to get closer to God and to find ways to tell the Gospel story in each of our countries. Thursday has a special extra for the English-speaking congregations...</span><br />

It turns out even the State cannot squash the new life of the Christian communities. "The word of God continued to spread and flourish." </span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: xx-small; line-height: 18px;">As Eastern Christians continue to rejoice in the resurrection of Jesus, we continue to see how <i style="font-weight: bold;">the Gospel moves out. </i>This week we complete Acts 11, as we see a new church developing in Antioch. It's a powerful story of how ordinary people, travelling and going about their ordinary work, witness both to people from religious and international backgrounds - just as we do. It's also a poignant story, as we watch Syria being torn apart by civil war and many Syrians arrive here in Egypt seeking shelter and safety until they can return. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This week the question has been, "Who's in charge?" Who has final authority in twenty-first century Egypt? Whose word do we trust, and whose way will we follow? As we continue to pray for the nation and all its people, Luke is concerned to keep <i style="font-weight: bold;">Introducing Jesus</i> into the situation. This weekend, as we look at the end of chapter 4 of his gospel, we see Jesus as the one with <b><i>True Authority. </i></b></span></div>

It gives chance to look back with thanks for all that the Lord has done in us and through us. And it gives us opportunity to look ahead at some of the challenges. And the opportunities: while this is a tough time for the country, many are asking deeper questions, and we want to be ready to point them in the right direction for the answers. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;"><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">We're enjoying celebrating Christmas again, with our Coptic friends in Africa's largest city. And watching and praying to see how this year will unfold.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">As we move from the arrival of the baby Jesus, we enter a long period of silence while he grows and develops. Only one event, when Jesus stays on to quizz the theologians in the temple courts of Jerusalem, is recorded for us. Followed by another twenty years of silence as Jesus grows, develops, learns a trade, runs a business, and takes his place in family and community. There's an encouragement for those of us who have to work for a living - God is with us, especially at work!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We're celebrating Christmas in Africa's largest city. We've been enjoying Luke's story of <b><i>Songs for Christmas </i></b>- and joining in with Elizabeth, Mary, Zechariah, the Angels and the Shepherds as they sing for joy at God stepping in to their world.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We're celebrating Christmas in Africa's largest city. As we come to the end of Advent, we've been hearing Luke's story of <b><i>Songs for Christmas </i></b>- and joining in with Elizabeth, Mary, Zechariah as they sing for joy at God stepping in to their world. And ours too, as we reflect this weekend on some of the great Christmas readings.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Those readings are here below for you. Join us as we see how these promises impact our world, uncertain still, dominated by constitutions and referendums and governments. Yet the place where God has made himself known in Jesus and come alongside us.</span><br />

the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the
increase of his government and of peace there will be no end, on the throne of
David and over his kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and
with righteousness from this time forth and forevermore. The zeal of the LORD
of hosts will do this. </span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>Matthew 1:18–23</b> </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><i>Matthew
shows how the birth of Jesus fulfils prophecy.</i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way.
When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together
she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">And her husband Joseph, being a just man and unwilling
to put her to shame, resolved to divorce her quietly. But as he considered
these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream,
saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife,
for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will bear a
son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their
sins." </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">All this took place to fulfil what the Lord had spoken
by the prophet: "Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son,
and they shall call his name Immanuel" – which means, “God with us.”</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a
census should be taken of the entire Roman world. (This was the first
census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.) And
everyone went to their own town to register. So Joseph also went up from
the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David,
because he belonged to the house and line of David. He went there to
register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a
child. While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and
she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed
him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.</span></div>

He wants us to know freedom from fear and to experience forgiveness. We don't need to be afraid of God, and we may know we are forgiven if we trust in Christ. </span></span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;">Join us at 10am on Friday and 10.30am on Sunday to hear more.</span><br />
