Message from our President, The Right Hon. Frank Fields MP

April  2008

2On 1st April 2008, Frank wrote to Rosie, 

"Congratulations on the AGM.  The whole event was beautiful and, as always, my spirits were raised by being with Broken Rites.  When you feel ready do come back and we might then talk about a survey on pension income. With best wishes, Frank"

 In March, Frank wrote:-

"Many congratulations to Broken Rites for continuing to offer help and support to divorced and separated wives of clergy and ministers for 25 years!  I hope that your 25th  Anniversary Celebration in April 2008 will be a very happy and successful occasion.  I am delighted that the Archbishop of Canterbury is to be the keynote speaker, and I hope very much to be able to join you on this special day. 

Throughout the year I have followed your progress closely in particular the initiatives undertaken in Ireland, Scotland and in Wales.   I await any developments with interest.  The display at the General Synod of the Church of England in February 2008 is an enterprising venture, and I hope that this will raise among Synod members an awareness of the value of the work undertaken by Broken Rites.  

I would still encourage you to undertake further research on how members are managing financially after retirement and, if appropriate, any financial difficulties encountered by younger members, particularly with those with young children.   

In the meantime, I send you my very best wishes for all your activities in the coming year."
