BISHOP MICHAEL GIELEN
BISHOP OF THE DIOCESE OF CHRISTCHURCH
I am delighted that the Diocese of Christchurch will host the Ignite Conference this year. For more than 25 years, Ignite has inspired young people, families, parish communities and schools to deepen their faith and encounter the living Christ. Through creative, contemporary and engaging presentations of the Gospel, Ignite offers an opportunity to grow in hope, friendship and discipleship. We warmly welcome participants from across New Zealand and beyond, and I encourage everyone to join us as we pray for a renewed outpouring of faith and new life in our Church. I look forward to seeing you there.
