This month Revd. Philip Macdonald looks at Racial Justice Sunday in the Dear Friends piece, and reminds that Jesus challenged the prevailing attitudes of the day.Writing of challenges, Karl Jarvis reports on the works now needed to the fabric of St Wilfrid’s. Karl also included a lovely poem by John Betjeman Blame the Vicar. Copyright prevents me from printing the poem, but I urge you to seek it out. It doesn’t apply to Revd. Pete obviously...Pat Jarvis & Jill Clarke write job vacancies, future plans and money. Time to look again at the standing order me thinks.Jill also reports on the Mothers’ Union AGM, and I record the work of Mel Allan in producing a photographic record of works undertaken to St Wilfrid’s in the early 1990s.
