The Church

The Church Times runs several events, including an annual clergy Cricket Cup, the Festival of Faith and Literature, and the Festival of Preaching. The Train a Priest (TAP) Fund has raised over £4.6 million to support ordinands and their families since it was established in 1952. Other campaigns include the Green Health Awards and the 21 For 21 interfaith awards. Read the Church Times at www.churchtimes.co.uk, via our app for iPhone/iPad, or in print.

You can enjoy a generous bowlful of “hyper-local”, nutritious, and very tasty food there for £10 or so. You can pay double that if you want to. Or, if you ask at the till for “a meal for Tom”, you can pay nothing at all.”
