A full-page colour advertisement for the Anglican Appeal. The "spirit of partnership brought Anglicans together in 1992 in the formation of the Anglican Appeal -- a partnership that has strengthened the ministries of the church immeasurably since. Now in the 20th anniversary year of the Appeal, it is time to ask important questions about its future. How can we use Vision 2019, and the Marks of Mission, to inspire us to work together in new ways ? How can we continue to come together as a community of generous givers -- celebrating our unity in the Holy Spirit -- to build a healthier, more vibrant church ?"
