As you may have read in our Link Newsletter (available on request, electronically or paperererly) one of our roles is helping at the Anglican Church in Nazareth. We are slowly getting involved in different areas of work. The Bishop of Jerusalem - I had to name drop because it’s such an impressive title - has granted me a free ‘Reader’ transfer from the Bath & Wells Diocese to the Jerusalem Diocese. The Jerusalem Diocese covers a large area that includes Israel, Palestine, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon – an interesting assortment of locations. I have started assisting Father Zahi, carrying the cross and serving communion, reading the prayer book in Arabic is taking time because it is in classical and not colloquial Arabic – that’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it.

Marsalama...It could happen to a better man. I always knew there was a place reserved for you Pete.
Carrying the cross, does half of the job in tail cleaning it? Our prayers are with you both, especially those attached to the new prayer letter.
God Bless, love, Stan & Mary
