Hope: what does it mean to you? Is it dependent on your age, or your culture, your faith or your circumstances?
In our first edition of Encounter magazine for 2025, we pose this question to some of our people.
We cover our parishes' plans for Hope25; Bishop Peter writes about how he has found hope in caring people – the ones who come alongside and deliberately make a difference; and we highlight some ways we are sharing hope across our organisation.
This edition also includes a Q&A with a new Executive Director of Education; a costume maker bringing the vibe to aged care; and a youth service that's throwing a bit of colour to bring the smiles.
There's also a very exciting sneak peek at Samaritans brand new Green Light Appeal.
