Origin/meaning

The sheaves of wheat are representative of Bishop John’s native town of Sheffield (originally Sheaf-Field) and they also represent the important image of the Sower going out to sow as recorded in the Gospels.

The bridge is representative of Bishop John’s pastoral intent of building bridges and collaboration through Ecumenical and Interfaith dialogue. The bridge also represents a hint of the causeway which joins Lindisfarne (Bishop John’s former title) to the mainland.

Motto: “Quo fas vocat” “Go where Divine Providence calls you”
