From the editor
Welcome to the Autumn issue of In Touch – our first birthday issue.
The editorial team has been very encouraged by the positive reception the magazine has received, and we are very grateful to our contributors for all their hard work.
We have a number of new contributors to this issue, and I particularly welcome Francesca Laidlaw, our youngest writer to date, and thank her for sharing her poetry with us. I hope that this will encourage some other young people to write for the magazine – we need some serious writing and some jokes too!
It is also very good to see details of the Ahotokurom project and the scheme to display photos of recently departed members of the parish in the church, to remind us to pray for them. Both these ideas were originally raised on our letters page.
