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

Dorset Historic Churches Trust Great Cycle Ride
2010 is the 20th year of the ‘Great Cycle Ride’ organised by the Dorset Historic Churches Trust. Since 1991 the event has raised over £622,130 to assist churches and chapels of all denominations in Dorset with grants and loans for essential fabric repairs and restoration. Last year the Cycle Ride raised over £62,176, half of which was, as usual, returned immediately to participating parishes. All ages can take part, by bicycle, on foot, in a wheelchair or on horseback. The majority of churches will be open between 10.00 am and 6.00 pm to welcome cyclists and validate their sponsorship form. Many of the churches will offer refreshments and local information.
Sponsorship is based on the number of churches the participants plan to visit, the distance, area and timing of individual rides is entirely up to those taking part and can be as long or as short as desired. It is ideal for families, groups and individuals who can take part by bicycle, on foot, in a wheelchair or on horseback.
Those unable to take part in the ride can help out by staffing their local church, so there really is apart for the local community to play. Help wanted at Holy Trinity to welcome cyclists to our church on Saturday 11th September, please see the pew sheet for further details on how you can help or talk to one of the Clergy.
