Last year's two direct mail appeals for donations to the Anglican Journal have met with unprecedented success. Proceeds from the Journal appeal are traditionally split 50-50 with the diocesan newspapers, and 26 out of 30 dioceses participated in the 2000 appeal.
Participation is optional.
Non-participants included the three dioceses in Newfoundland and Rupert's Land. The Anglican Journal, on behalf of itself and all its readers sincerely thanks all those who so generously gave to last year's appeal. Your donations help ensure that this newspaper's quality and scope will endure. Vianney Carriere Editor Larry Gee, the Journal's business manager, said the response among newspaper subscribers to last year's direct mail was 50 per cent, compared to a norm for an direct mail appeal of between three and four per cent. The success was unexpected, he said.
