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

“‘There’s no place like home’ goes the old song and it is surely true that for virtually everyone home is important. If we’ve been away for a long time we are really eager to get back. One of the worst punishments that was handed down in the past was exile.”
