The Parthenon Foundation in Switzerland has awarded a grant of 150,000 to the Anglican Communion Secretariat in London of an endowment for the Communications programme. This presentation was made to the Secretary General of the Anglican Communion, the Revd Canon John L. Peterson on a recent visit to Switzerland.
Communications is key to any successful organisation.
Canon Peterson has sought support for the Communications programme as he too feels it is such an urgent need for the Communion to be in touch and to be able to tell each others' stories. Our work must centre around the needs of people who are making valiant attempts to be agents of mission, healing and reconciliation in this troubled world. Canon Peterson, through the efforts of the Compass Rose Society, who are church people from several countries who share generously of their time, talent and treasure, hopes the endowment will be in place by the end of 2003 when he leaves office. I am totally committed to seeing the Anglican Communion being a body of loving, caring and giving people. Our focus must never be inward, but on a waiting world eager to hear the message of Christ and His love.
