You may well be aware of the growing pressure Christians in the area are under, and our support means a great deal to them; some parishes have displayed the cards in their churches. We are launching this a little earlier this year so that they should arrive in good time for Easter, but as usual we ask you to return them to church so that they can be sent to the Latin Patriarch in Jerusalem for redistribution. Please take a copy of the Arabic greeting to include in your envelope and include your contact details if you'd like to. There will be a box at the back of church for the cards. (if you want to leave a small contribution towards the postage, that would be welcome too.) Thank you. ————————————————————————————————————————— Cathedral Friends: lecture by Lord David Alton MP, “Paying the Price of Faith” Thursday 12th March in the Gibberd Room.
