Thanks to those who have topped up the Compassion Fund.

The US government has ended most of its foreign aid to crises and development projects around the world. In response Alongside Hope (better known as Primate’s World Relief and Development Fund) is inviting Anglicans to contribute to a Resilience Fund that will pick up a bit of the slack. An anonymous donor stepped forward to match the first $250,000 that people contribute. Visit [link].

Today’s e-News shares a lavish birthday presentation to a much-admired lay reader. It also shares an unusual Holy Trinity scene. That church’s altar (east) window is a memorial to Dora MacIntosh. Within the portrait of Mrs MacIntosh that hangs on the building’s west wall, the altar window opposite is reflected beautifully. Our thanks to the observant photographer.
