TUESDAYS WITH TERESA: To be people of unity and peace"As the jacaranda flowers begin to drop, and the agapanthus and hydrangea dot our landscape with the colour of Advent, we journey towards Christmas. It was lovely to walk into the Cathedral on the weekend, to see this colour, reminding us of the change of liturgical season and our call to ready ourselves for the coming of our saviour," writes Teresa Brierley.
