Light candle and say a prayer for road victims this Sunday
A north London priest who was called to a fatal accident outside her church is urging people to light a candle and say a prayer this Sunday (18 November), the World Day of Remembrance for road traffic victims, supported by the UN.

Contemporary art plans for churches impress judges
One prize became three as the excitement and commitment of parishes to commission a new art work for their church caught the eye of the judges. Entries from St Andrew’s, Plymouth (Exeter Diocese), The Good Shepherd, Kirk Sandall (Sheffield Diocese), and Wednesfield Team Ministry in Lichfield so impressed the judges in the Jerusalem Trust Prize for Commissioning New Art in Churches that they not only split the first prize in two but found the money to award a development grant as well.
