DIOCESAN MAGAZINES
PLEASE NOTE:
MAY ISSUE OF THE DIOCESAN MAGAZINE
Because, for the first time ever, there will be no events, past or present, to feature in the parish notes section of the Diocesan Magazine in our May issue it will instead focus on:
- the experience of clergy in these extraordinary times and on how they are reaching out to parishioners, online and otherwise, during this period of COVID-19 restricted travel and worry.
- the challenges related to ministry now
- the positives
- where they think this global pandemic will lead the church in terms of worship and outreach in the future
Parishioners’ opinions across the diocese will also be sought.
The April issue of the Magazine is going ahead as normal with distribution planned for the end of March.
Postal copies will be sent out as usual and pdfs emailed to those who have those respective subscriptions but those who normally distribute copies to their parish churches may be asked, kindly, when they receive their batch by courier, if they would instead put copies of the April issue through subscribers’ home letter boxes, rather than leave in the churches, if that is possible for them. It will be very much appreciated.
Best wishes and keep well
