The crib was beautiful and was looked at by many children and adults with great admiration.
Chris Coates (Vicar) led the service. He always manages to engage the children and make the service special for all who attend.
Many children performed the Christmas Nativity.
When the lights were lowered and the Christingle's were lit...as the children sung 'away in a manger'...it became a very emotional experience.

Dr John Sentamu declined my request for an interview. It is not as if I am the Daily Mirror or the Sunday Times! I am a local person writing about local issues for local people. The locality also happens to be where Dr Sentamu lives! All I asked was for him to answer a few questions that I had pre - written. The questions were going to be put to him by his publicity secretary. Due to the pressures of an 'extremely hectic diary' my interview request was rejected.
I think that you can draw your own conclusions to this. All I am going to say is that David Hope was approachable and ALWAYS had time for the people in Bishopthorpe. I know this from experience as I often chatted to him outside the Co-op!!
