The 105th Archbishop of Canterbury, Most Rev. Justin Welby, is leaving office today mired in controversy about his safeguarding role over a serial paedophile and after criticism by some Anglican leaders for supporting homosexual unions. “The church will certainly get things wrong.

    Oceania Health Church & Missions

    As challenges increase in the world, knowing that facing struggle does not mean that life is out of control or terrible can provide great hope. It is hopeful to remember that a cold dark night on the side of Everest isn't a destination, it is a means to an end.
