Lost Property
Is there a Forward in Faith priest out there who is finding his New Directions difficult to read? Perhaps he left his spectacles in Holy Trinity, Prince Consort Road on the day of the great Stand up for Jesus celebration! We’d be delighted to reunite priest and glasses, if he gives the FiF Office a call on 020 7388 3588.
That time of year again!
Forward in Faith members will find enclosed with this month’s copy of New Directions our Treasurer’s Report for the year to 31st December, 2004, together with Renewal Forms for all those who pay their subscription other than by Banker’s Order. Each year, we ask you to save Forward in Faith money by paying your subscription now, rather than leaving it for so long that we have to incur further costs in sending you a reminder, and each year we send out yet further reminders! As we move into top gear in our struggle for adequate provision for those faithful members of the Church of England who are in conscience unable to receive the ordination of women as bishops or priests, we need every penny we can lay our hands on. Please do your bit in that struggle by paying what is due – and perhaps a little more! – as soon as you are able.
