Visits by Bishops etc … big meetings with a feeling that it will make a difference

I am not sure of the value of a newspaper as there is already too much 'stuff' to read and many people feel inundated by too much information. Simplicity has a lot to recommend it, in my opinion.

I write as someone who is on my local PCC but still very much a 'seeker' and I have enrolled on an Alpha course as I need to get back to basics after not really progressing since childhood. what I am really trying to say is that I am very much a 'beginner' and that therefore my experience is very limited.
