From Shemil Matthew
Sir, - Your report (News,
27 April) about Bishops' seeking twice as many minority-ethnic
dignitaries prompted me to respond.
A group of minority-ethnic ordinands at Ripon College,
Cuddesdon, recognising the need to encourage and support each
other, are organising a day conference on 7 May. This conference
seeks to explore the possibility of establishing a network of
people in ministry in the Church of England who have
minority-ethnic backgrounds.
Our speakers are Dr Elizabeth Henry and the Revd Dr Evie Vernon.
Anyone who is interested is welcome.
