FOR the fourth yr running, we’re asking readers to donate to TAP Africa, the extension of the annual Church Times Train-A-Priest Fund, going for greater than half a century, to ordinands in Africa.
Legacy income continues to support English ordinands; so we again ask for donations for those training for the priesthood with almost no funding behind them, in countries where the necessity for clergy is matched, sadly, by a widespread inability to support them and their families during training.
Last yr’s appeal was hit by the cost-of-living crisis, yet we still managed to boost £25,762.96. We hope that this yr’s appeal can improve on that. Every penny donated goes on to those in training within the poorest African countries.
Donations might be made quickly and securely online at churchtimes.co.uk/train-a-priest-fund.
