CHRISTIAN AFFORDABLE RENTAL ACCOMMODATION IN SOUTH DEVON
The Fairfield Trust is a registered charity (Charity Number: 266699) which owns two large houses in Torquay. They have recently been
converted into modern flats to accommodate those who have worked or do work and given their lives to or for Christian organisations and,
as a result, have been unable to buy a home in this country. The Trust is a non-profit making charity.
The unfurnished, self-contained flats have bedroom, kitchen, bathroom and sitting room. All have access to large communal gardens with
views of the sea in Torbay, laundry facilities and car parking or garage. There are also a few flats for
residents’ family and friends to visit.
Full details of the history and aim of the Trust, its founder and the accommodation available can be
found at: www.fairfieldtrust.org

The Great North Passion
– a unique opportunity for Good Friday 2014
At the beginning of February the BBC and its partner The
Cultural Spring will be releasing details of how you can
be part of an ambitious and unique event to be broadcast live on BBC One, on Good Friday 18th April. This
will be a huge event, live from the north east and broadcast throughout the UK.
‘The Great North Passion’ will be a unique retelling of the
Passion story and will weave together music and performance interpreting the universal themes of Good Friday,
through art, massed singing, stories and reflections and
will centre around a huge cross made from shipping containers and sited in Bents Park, South Shields.
facebook.com/ndconf14
#ndconf14
Several of these containers, representing some of the
universal themes of the Passion story, will be placed in
locations across the North East in the weeks running up to
18th April. In each of these communities local people will
work with artists to explore the meaning of specific Good
Friday themes. Members of each community will then
come together with thousands of others in Bents Park on
18th April to take part in this one-off occasion to mark the
events of the first Good Friday.
Our next clergy conference is now less than 6 months
away when Bishop Martin gathers together all licensed
clergy, Church Army Officers and Advisers. Our
theme explores the hospitality of the gospel in which
we share, and which we offer to the world.
We are anticipating inspiring and challenging input from our
conference speakers and guests: Dr Paula Gooder is keynote
speaker, and the line up includes Prof Nicholas Sagovsky, the
Revd Dr Michael Volland, the Revd Andrew Walker and TV
Presenter John Grundy. We also look forward to being joined
by representatives of our link dioceses in Botswana, Møre and
Winchester.
You are warmly invited to register your interest in taking
part in the live event. More details will be released in
early February. The BBC is looking for experienced and
enthusiastic singers to join a massed choir and there will
be other special opportunities to get involved in this exciting project. In the meantime, please do register your
interest by emailing [email protected] you will then receive further details directly.
As well as learning together, the conference will be a place to
celebrate the generous, engaged and open hospitality we already offer throughout our diocese; perhaps you cook a pensioners’ lunch, contribute to a Foodbank, hold beer and hymns
evenings, offer church meals or parties, or run café church?
At the conference we would like to share our stories of hospitality through photographs. If you have photos of events, services, projects or occasions where hospitality is offered
through your church, chaplaincy or other area of ministry
which can be shared, please email them to [email protected]
(photos will be projected on to large screens and will need to
be of good quality).
As part of our time together there will be informal, and hopefully humorous, ‘After Dinner Entertainment’ one evening; if
you would like to let out the hidden extrovert inside, or find
out more about how you might get involved, please contact
Pat Craighead at [email protected] as soon as possible.

Review of Development work
with Children
Following the departure of former Diocesan Children's Work Adviser Sister Sandra
Doore to pastures new, the Bishop has asked a small group to undertake a short review of Children’s Work support in the diocese so that he can consider how best to
move forward.
If you have any views from a personal or parochial perspective that you would like to
contribute to the review then please contact Geoff Miller (Archdeacon of Northumberland) who is chairing the small review
group, preferably before the end of February.
The group would particularly like to know what kind of help and resource you or your parish would like to have access to, in
order to develop and strengthen your ministry among children.
Geoff's e-mail address is [email protected].
Churches Together Football
League North East
(www.ctfl.org.uk)
Premier Christian Media is launching
"Reconnect" in the North East, a project aiming
to reconnect 600 elderly and housebound Christian people in the North East both with the
Christian message and their local Christian community, with a view to improving the spiritual
and emotional wellbeing of people in our region
who are increasingly isolated and disconnected
from their local communities.
CTFL North East is looking for more teams to take part in a
five-a-side football league starting in September 2014, at
Concordia Cramlington. We play every other week until the
end of March.
The North East has been chosen by Premier as
the pilot region because of the very large proportion of the population over the age of 65.
If you require more information please contact
League Secretary Bernard McCabe on 07751020918 or
[email protected].
The league began in 1991 and both boys and girls take part.
We are looking for players in three age groups: 7 – 10, 10 –
13, 13 – 16. The registration deadline is the 1st July 2014.
This is a very friendly league and our main aim is to reach
out to the community to encourage the young people to
take part in a Christian Football league.
There are a number of projects happening in the
region to reach out to the housebound and elderly.
You or your church may already be involved, so
Premier would like to explain why we believe
your church should get involved in Premier’s
Reconnect project.

Sin and Forgiveness: New
Responses in a Changing
World – Kay Carmichael
What happens to offenders and society as a whole in a world where people no longer talk of sin but of evil? If
hopes of redemption go too, will
revenge take the place of forgiveness?
With detailed case studies and thought provoking discussion of individual and global issues, this book explores these
dilemmas in a detailed and thought-provoking analysis.
Including an extensive bibliography for further reading, this
may be of great use to those interested in the changes in
attitudes towards sin and forgiveness and what these developments mean for society today.
This New Year, the RRC is thinking about Forgiveness.
The F Word: Images of Forgiveness –
Marina Cantacuzino and Brian Moody
A book drawing upon an early exhibition by The Forgiveness Project, this
offers the stories of people who have survived tragedy, lived through
atrocity and found it in themselves to forgive. It includes
victims of 9/11, the IRA, South African apartheid, and the
Israeli-Palestine conflict.
Additional material includes interviews with Archbishop
Desmond Tutu and Victoria Climbie’s parents.
Church House, St. John's Terrace, Percy Main,
North Shields. NE29 6HS 0191 270 4161
www.resourcescentreonline.co.uk
Ideal to open up debate among groups about forgiveness, right and wrong, weakness and strength, justice
and morality.

heathcare, education and other practical means.
It is a chance to discover afresh the role that mission plays at the heart of our faith – and be transformed.
A heart for mission is FREE and can be ordered today, along with a daily meditation booklet 40 days of mission, Lent collection
