New Year Message 2006 from The Rt. Rev Dr. S Tilewa Johnson

My dear Sisters and Brothers,

As we enter another New Year, it must be our prayer that this year will be a better one than last year.  Although this is the case, there was also much to be thankful for last year.  We give thanks to God for the blessings of the 2005, and that we have lived to see in 2006. The outgoing year - from the day after Christmas 2004 to the present - was marred by one disaster after another: both man-made and 'natural.'  On the morning after Christmas Day 2004, we were horrified by the news of the tsunami in South East Asia.  As this news unfolded over the following days and weeks, the extent of the disaster went beyond our comprehension.  The immediate loss of life and the massive task of rebuilding lives and livelihoods presented a desperate situation.  The resilience and determination of people, who had lost so much, was humbling and inspirational.  We are sometimes privileged to witness something in the human spirit that seems to be able to rise above the horror of such experience.
