Dear incumbents, churchwardens and treasurers
As we begin 2024, we wanted to write to you to thank you for your hard work and generosity over the last year in all that you have done to raise parish share. We are delighted that 4 of our deaneries still managed to meet their parish share in full and with an overall percentage of 94.6% for the archdeaconry. We know how hard everyone has worked and how generous everyone has been. Please do pass on my thanks to your PCCs and to your congregations.
I am very aware that for many of you 2024 may be an even greater challenge, thank you again for all that you are doing. If we can help you as parishes around giving, do have a look at the diocesan webpage on generous giving (Giving & fundraising – Diocese of Oxford (anglican.org)) and contact Joshua Townson who has some very helpful resources.
With every blessing and deep gratitude
The Venerable David Tyler
Archdeacon of Dorchester
Diocese of Oxford
The Revd Prebendary Jane Haslam
