Turkey and Syria Earthquake Appeal
Bishop Will urges parishes to have a retiring collection over the next two sundays.
Turkey and Syria Earthquake appeal
Each of us will I am sure have been praying for all those affected by the humanitarian crisis unfolding in Syria and Turkey after the devastating earthquake of Sunday night.
Today I also heard from Archbishop Angaeleos who spoke movingly about the terrible effects of this earthquake on our brothers and sisters in the already persecuted Coptic Church. As many of us reflect this Sunday on Racial Justice can I encourage each Church Community to have a retiring collection for Christian Aid over the next two Sundays?
If you do manage to help in this way could I also encourage you to tell us by emailing the Rev Andrew Birks rev.andrew.birks@hotmail.com so we know how many people and parishes have supported the appeal?
With thanks
