WILL you help to train a priest? Will you follow the inspiring
example of those who have already given to the Church
Times Train-A-Priest (TAP) Fund this Lent?
Since our unique Lenten appeal was launched last week, £1323.25
has already arrived, bringing this year's total so far to
£11,514.89. Every ordinand, married or single, receives a TAP grant
if he or sheis in full-time training for the priesthood in the C of
E.
In addition, ten per cent of every donation goes into the
Special Hardship Fund, to support any ordinand training for the
priesthood - in a college, in a course, or an OLM scheme - who
experiences unforeseen financial difficulties.
