The Elland Society: 'After its foundation in 1767 the Elland Society decided to give grants for those in training for the ordained ministry in the Church of England. At first all expenses of University training were met. Over the years, as the Church has taken more responsibility, the Society has moderated its grants to items that are not included in the Main Church Grant.'

Professional Exchanges UK
I am looking for an exchange priest to look after Okehampton, which is a market town, and two small rural parishes during August 2011. Sunday duties only, other colleagues around. Okehampton is a small town on the edge of the Dartmoor National Park in Devon, a rural county in the west of England it is steeped in history and folk culture. It is ideal for walking or exploring the surfing beaches to the north or the tourist beaches to the south. We offer our home, which is a four bedroom rectory, and the use of our car. We have two children and need at least a three bedroom house in exchange, use of a car would be ideal. Contact scook9673@aol.com.

A Beacon in the Darkest Hour:
In Nevada (US), the Revd Mary Bredlau found her calling in reaching out to people in the greatest of pain - she has officiated at
350 to 500 funerals a year for 15 years. That's 4,500 to 7,500 souls.
The Las Vegas Sun (Nevada) has an inspiring story about this Episcopal priest and former RC nun.
Peter Walker, RIP: 'Walker was a model Church of England bishop – devout, scholarly and pastoral – and had a multitude of friends and admirers. Among these was WH Auden, who once observed: "Friendship with Peter Walker was one of the best things about coming to England."' From the Telegraph. |
