Bishop Wilson’s Visit

We were delighted to host Bishop Wilson and his wife, Mama Agnes, who came to us for some rest and relaxation a week after the other Sudanese Bishops, due to other commitments to visit Northern Ireland. But the need for rest did not stop our guests from being out and about locally during their week with us, speaking on the radio at Castledown FM, enjoying a bbq with parishioners and seeing the sights at Stonehenge and Avebury, as well as joining our worship and prayers at St James. Another blessing to us, and we hope they have returned home to Sudan refreshed by time spent in rural Wiltshire!

Bishop Zechariah’s visit

Over the last week, Rev’d Tim and Dawn have hosted Bishop +Zechariah and his wife Mama Christine from Sudan. We were thrilled to have them here with us for some rest and relaxation after the Lambeth Conference, and wish them every blessing now they have headed back to South Sudan. We continue to pray for them, their churches and for peace for Sudan.
