Autumn ‘Connor Connections’ available to share

Thursday October 22nd 2020

The autumn issue of the diocesan magazine Connor Connections is now available to download or read in E-Paper format.

Due to the difficulties in distribution and Covid-19 restrictions, this issue of the magazine will not be available in print.

We appreciate that many people who would enjoy reading Connor Connections may not have access to the internet and so would encourage those who can access it online to consider printing out a copy for someone who may be lonely or isolated.

The 24-page magazine features all the latest news from the diocese, including reports on the consecration of our new Bishop, the Rt Rev George Davison, and the services of ordination of deacons and priests in Connor which were held in September.

There are reports from our youth and children’s officers on how the diocese and parishes are continuing to engage with young people and families through the pandemic, with some innovative ideas to share

Special features include a focus on Jubilee Farm, outside Glynn, a Christian Care Organisation which produces freshly grown vegetables and is home to some very happy pigs, goats, geese and more. There is an interview with the Rev Bobbie Moore, recently retired as priest-in-charge of St Aidan’s, about how God led her back to her roots in Sandy Row, and her continuing involvement with a charity caring for the elderly in Rwanda.

We find out how Mothers’ Union members have supported the NHS, its staff and patients during lockdown, and meet some pets who made their way to the steps of Belfast Cathedral for their annual blessing.

There is news from our link Diocese of Yei in South Sudan, impacted by not only ongoing civil unrest, but by the coronavirus. And we meet the new Archdeacon of Belfast, the Ven Barry Forde.

As we approach Remembrance Day, Johnny Conn, NI Staff Officer with the Church Lads’ and Church Girls’ Brigade (CLCGB) tells the stories of CLB members from parishes in Connor Diocese who gave their lives during the Second World War. We will remember them.

Please take time to read the magazine and, if you can, share it with others.
