A number of SYWC chaplains have had helpful, but highly interrupted, conversations with receptionists.

The event will be of interest to those who are already involved with the link, any who are new to it and just curious and those who are involved in training and development here in Sheffield Diocese.

Mary Oughtred, who in Bishop Leslie Hunter's time ran a body called the Sheffield Association of Youth Clubs which was effectively at the time the Diocese's "youth arm", died last Tuesday at the good age of nearly 93. She came down to London in the early 60s to be Secretary of the Spina-bifida and Hydrocephalus Association, and has lived in London ever since. The Rt Revd Michael Scott-Joynt, Bishop of Winchester, who was Mary’s godson, has informed us of this, and asks for prayers for a faithful godmother and wonderful servant of the Church.
