DIOCESAN PRAYER DIARY March 2016 Our Bishop (Bishop Greg Thompson) has chosen to include the figure of an Eaglehawk within his crest with the kind permission from the Indigenous people of the Hunter Region. The Eaglehawk is a totem for their communities. Its use marks the recognition of the First Peoples in our and of the invitation to renew our lives Isaiah 40:31. The Wattle is used to reflect the beauty of the environment and our commitment to care for the country God has blessed us with.
