From the editor
The editorial team were very encouraged and excited by the quality and quantity of contributions to this issue of the magazine. The magazine has grown in size – but I have still had to hold over a couple of items until next time. We do hope that all of you who contributed will do so again – and that even more of you will feel able to send us something. We can always add even more pages!On his recent visitation, Bishop Tripp suggested that the magazine was made more widely available to the local community. I will try to ensure that our sister churches get a copy, and also the Selsdon Library, but if anyone feels that there are other places where we should have a presence, please let me know.
I mentioned in the previous issue of the magazine that I would revise the list of parish contacts – but I didn’t get any corrections or additions. I suspect that there are changes to be made – so perhaps we can try again for the Summer issue. I’ll try and remember to remind you in the newsletter, which should help!
Thanks as always to the editorial team for all their hard work.
