Goodnews january/february 1993 [antikvár]

FROM JAN KNIGHT NSC NEWS Since the summer conferences, life has con-tinued to be hectic in the sleepy west country. I regularly help in an Anglican parish in their "listening post" - a time when pcople can come for prayer and counselling. I am also involved in their diocesan healing commit-tee, which put on two large events this year in Wells Cathedral. One was a visit by Francis and Judith McNutt in July and the other a healing day with Bishop Morris Maddocks in October. The Catholic Bishop's committee for Health and Healing continues to organise teaching days and healing services in various parts of the Clifton diocese. My husband Palrick and I, together with some members of our Heart Community, took part in a healing service in a Catholic parish in Torquay at the invitation of Fr. Kevin O'Connell. We also have continued todoteachinginlocalLifeintheSpiritSeminars which are taking place. Looking ahead, the NSC is planning a weekend on the healing ministry July 9th - llth 1993 at the Sion Community in Brentwood.
