Bishop David’s appeal for the Sudan
Bishop David has launched a pre-retirement appeal on behalf of Bishop Gwynne College in Juba,
Daniela Rapisarda, Simon Lual Bang, Canon Trevor Stubbs
The college had fallen into a state of disrepair and in 2009 Archbishop Daniel Deng closed the college, and invited Canon Trevor Stubbs, then Rector of Bridport, to re-establish the college’s teaching, plan new buildings, and expand its work. 20 students recommenced their studies in February, but the college needs to take another 50 students, which means expansion to a new site .
The first phase will cost £66000, and Bishop David has appealed to parishes, organizations and individuals to help him raise this as quickly as possible, by June at the latest.
‘In my 17 years as Bishop I have never launched an appeal in aid of the Sudan because of our ongoing support. But now my time to leave in July is nearing, helping this bold vision get off the ground would mean far more to me than any farewell gift.’
The full text of Bishop David’s letter is in the March edition of the parish magazine and also on line at http://www.salisburyanglican.org.uk/admin/showpage.asp?page=1076

Weymouth Choral Society
Experience an enjoyable evening of wonderful classical music. On Saturday 20 March 2010 Weymouth Choral Society, with the Wessex Sinfonia Orchestra, will present a concert of inspiring and resounding choral and instrumental music, featuring two major works of the classical composer Hummel. The choir will sing the Mass in C major, a work that reflects the lyrical and harmonic language of Haydn and Mozart, yet at times leans towards the denser textures of later 19th century composers. Experience a gamut of emotions with this inspirational work, sometimes soaring heavenward, sometimes delicate and reflective. The other major work is Hummel’s ever-popular Trumpet Concerto. This beautiful piece has proved a favourite of audiences since it was first performed on New Year’s Day in 1804. The highly talented Dorset-based trumpeter, Winston Leese, will play this classic.
To complement these major works, the choir will sing the fast and furious motet Insanae et Vanae Curae by Haydn, the much-loved Mozart Ave Verum and the hauntingly beautiful Laudate Dominum from Mozart’s ‘Solemn Vespers’ for which Weymouth Choral will be joined by the gifted young soprano Jenny Featherstone.
The concert will take place at Holy Trinity Church and starts at 7.30pm. Tickets, priced at £8 (free to under 16s) are available by phone on 01305 775644, by email .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) or on the door.
