Lenten project…

Amnesty International invites you to take on a Lenten Project. Lent begins soon. During Lent we prepare ourselves for Holy Week, when Jesus was tortured and killed. Many people in this world are, at this very time, suffering a similar fate. We invite you to write letters, emails, faxes on behalf of those who are suffering injustice, torture, and facing the possibility of death. Amnesty can provide you each week with suggestions for the letters you should be writing – or you can choose your own letters from www.amnesty.ca. If you do not have experience in letter writing for Amnesty, an Amnesty Letter Writing Circle will be meeting on Tuesday, March 1st at 27 Dundurn St. (off Maryland between Westminster and Wolseley) 7 – 9 p.m. You would be welcome to join us. If this is not convenient, please contact Tom Collings at 772-2892.

St. George’s College, Jerusalem…

A message from Archbishop Bruce Stavert St. George’s College , Jerusalem: I am writing to you about the availability of a limited number of bursaries for Canadians ; clergy, lay people, or theological students who would like to follow a course at St. George’s College, Jerusalem. Within the last year and a half our small Canadian bursary fund has been able to provide two bursaries of one thousand dollars each for a couple of clergy who went to St. George’s College for a course. I can provide a copy of the college course schedule for 2011 and 2012. Those who might wish to avail themselves of a bursary should contact me or Bishop Michael Bedford-Jones. We are two Canadians who sit as members of the North American Regional Committee for St. George’s College Jerusalem. Our coordinates can be found in the latest House Of Bishops Directory and the Anglican Church of Canada Directory. E Mail addresses are abstavert@videotron.ca and michaelbj94@hotmail.com. I would invite Bishops to make this information known within their dioceses. +Bruce Stavert
