From Canon Richard Kirton

Sir, - We were most grateful for the news item by Gavin Drake last Friday on the closure of our two associations concerned with Anglican mission in South-East Asia. Please may we correct the dates, however: the Borneo Mission Association was formed in 1909, the Singapore and West Malaysia Diocesan Association two years later in 1911, and the Anglican Province of South-East Asia in 1996.

We would also like to invite any of your readers to come to meet the Archbishop and Bishops and to share in our closing eucharist, which starts at noon tomorrow, Saturday 13 June, in St John's, Waterloo. They will be made very welcome.
