Archbishop Jensen - statement on bushfire tragedy
Anglican Diocese of Sydney
Media Release 9/2/09
Dr Peter Jensen, Archbishop of Sydney and Metropolitan of NSW has asked churches to be in urgent prayer and to offer practical help for bushfire victims in Victoria.
“The scale of the tragedy is horrifying. When part of our community suffers, all suffer with them. We need to be generous in care, gifts and prayer in order to express our oneness with those in grief.”
Dr Jensen has launched an appeal for Sydney Anglicans to donate through the Archbishop’s appeals unit.
The appeal will support the ministry that will be needed in the bushfire-devastated areas in the months ahead.
Donations for the "Bushfire Crisis Appeal' can be given on the toll-free number 1800 653 903 or [url=http://www.archbishopsappeals.asn.au/]http://www.archbishopsappeals.asn.au/[/url]
