The Friends of the Diocese in Europe

The Friends are people who support the Diocese in Europe and share in its life and work.

BY THEIR INTEREST

• in discovering something of its history and its work
• in visiting its chaplaincies whenever possible
• in talking about it to others and introducing new Friends
• in coming to the annual reunion and other activities
• in reading The European Anglican

BY THEIR PRAYERS

God bless our Diocese
Inspire its worship
Sanctify its people and
Make each of its churches and chaplaincies
A home for all who need or seek You. Amen

BY THEIR GIFTS

Friends pay an annual subscription (minimum £20, but most pay rather more). The proceeds are used to support a wide range of diocesan projects for which funds are short or are not available from other sources.

IN RETURN

• Friends receive a regular mailing from the Diocesan Office, including The European Anglican three times a year, the Diocesan Yearbook and other information as it becomes available.
• There is an annual reunion, usually in London, consisting of a service followed by a reception: this is an opportunity for the Friends to meet each other, the Bishops and other clergy and lay people from around the Diocese and the Diocesan staff.
