Great - I'll leave you to fix that up with her. >2. Without being worried, I do just want to check that you're going to be OK after APCM. I know you've felt bruised, and I'm sure you need time to get past that, but I don't want you to feel without a "place". As your workload increases, you are going to need some times when you just sit back and absorb, and I'm delighted if we can be that sort of place for you. Nonetheless, what you are doing may well make you frustrated with the "World church" issues, and I want you to feel an open permission from me to walk into anything I/we are up to and tell us how we can do it better: I shan't in the least feel "What's *he* doing here?". I'm also concerned not to lose your gifts from the church and I take it that even busy people still need to offer service of some kind, if they are to grow. I've booked to talk to you in September, but I want to make sure we get there safely! I want to be sure that Trinity will continue to be a place of nurture, growth and challenge for you even the other side of Mission co-ordinator. If there is anything I can do to assist that, please talk to me. Alan Strange
