Here's what Anthony Rose has written for St. George's May Magazine...
Dear friends,
As in previous years, I feel it's good to share with you what I wrote for my Vicar's Report for this year's annual church meeting, so here's a potted version. It does seem a good way to ensure that as many people as possible hear some good things! I took as a text some verses from the book of the prophet Zephaniah, chapter 3.
I'm sure you're aware that there are many challenges facing the church in this country. Quite apart from differences in views on women bishops and, more importantly I believe, sexuality issues, individual churches are experiencing difficulties attracting younger people and paying their way. St George's, on the other hand, is in pretty good heart I'd say. We may not be one of the largest churches, nor wealthy, but we did see many encouraging signs of life and growth throughout last year. Indeed, we should take to heart Zephaniah's words: 'Sing, O Daughter of Zion; shout aloud, O Israel! Be glad and rejoice with all your heart, O Daughter of Jerusalem!'
