Reading the whole of the Bible in Lent was no small undertaking and I should
like to express my thanks to all who contributed in any way to this effort to
raise funds for the water project in our link Diocese in Kajiado, Kenya. People
from far and wide sent contributions or chose to sponsor the reading of a
chapter.
The good news is that we reached our target of 11.500 euro
(£10,000). What is even better is that Bishops’ Appeal has agreed to match-
fund our contribution. Hence, many congratulations to all; from the
McWhirters whose idea it was, to the co-ordinators of the technology, to the
clergy who organised the readers, to those who read, to those who supported
by attending or sponsoring. All in all, it was a wonderful team-effort that
brought many people together during Lent to think of others while reading the
scriptures.
