Bishop of Durham Backs Church Army Sunday’s Get OUT More theme

The Bishop of Durham The Rt Revd Dr Tom Wright has lent his support to the theme of for this year’s Church Army Sunday on 25th September.

The Bishop comments: “The Church Army has witnessed to the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ since 1882. This is a remarkable achievement of getting ‘out and about’ to bring care and hope, action and faith. Their example is an inspiration. I am delighted to encourage all parishes to observe Church Army Sunday on 25th September 2005 and to use their example as our inspiration to get out into the community. Use the day with an event to reach out and let people know that the church of God is alive and welcoming and has some good news to tell them. And of course let us give when we can and pray for the continuing work of Church Army.”

This year’s Church Army Sunday campaign aims to help equip churches to develop an effective Christian presence in everyday situations in the community such as at car boot sales, pub quizzes, and meeting the needs of clubbers.
