Lambeth Conference Volunteers

Note* The PYN is the Provincial Youth Network: See below for a message from Sarah - email abdnyouth@gmail.com and we will pass the message on...



The PYN is planning to have a presence at this year's Lambeth Conference, in conjunction with the International Anglican Youth Network.

The plan is for a group of ten; five aged eighteen to twenty-five (subject to organiser's discretion) and five under eighteen, to go down to Canterbury 20th to 27th of July. Accommodation has been booked at Canterbury Youth Hostel for seven nights. The group will visit the conference, interact with the bishops, run a youth stall in the 'marketplace' and run a youth-oriented Labyrinth, as well as sightsee in Canterbury and take part in group worship and activities.

The total cost of the trip (seven nights accommodation, breakfast and dinner) is £100 per person. Lunch each day and transport to Canterbury will be the individual's own responsibility.

This initial email is being sent to those who have registered their interest in attending, or are in a position to pass this information on to others within their diocese. If you wish to attend, please email s.tomlinson@src.gla.ac.uk.
Places will be given on a first-come-first-served basis with a deadline of March 20th.

This Lambeth conference will be an exciting event, and I look forward to having a strong PYN input.

Welcome

Hi everyone,

Welcome to Aberdeen and Orkney Youth Network's brand new blog. It will mainly be used to post news and details of upcoming events but hopefully we can also use it to get ideas about what folk want to do as well. It's still under development but feel free to comment on how we can make it better...

Cheers...
