Many of you will have received catalogues from large charities offering a choice of development projects to sponsor as Christmas gifts. These are fitting ways of honoring the Christ-child. We would like to draw your attention to The Primate’s World Relief and Development Fund (PWRDF), our Anglican international aid agency. They carry out much of the same work as the high-profile agencies do, but without the glossy advertising and administration costs. We encourage you to give a Christmas gift through PWRDF.” (Donate by phone 1-866-308-7973, on-line at the Canada Helps website canadahelps.org, by putting it on the collection plate in a clearly marked envelope, or by mail at 80 Hayden St., Toronto M4Y 3G2)
