Visit to Gibraltar
The Bishop and Judith visited the Cathedral of Gibraltar on Trinity Sunday, June 11th, on behalf of the mission society USPG, as guests of the Dean and his wife, the Very Rev. Alan and Barbara Woods, .
It is hoped that the English chaplaincy churches of Spain and Portugal will provide support to USPG to cover some of their costs of maintaining missionaries in the field and the Bishop's visit was to establish and develop this link.
After the Sung Eucharist in the Cathedral, the Bishop and Judith met members of the congregation for a potluck lunch. Afterwards the Dean took them to see "The Rock" and to catch a glimpse of Africa across the strait. They also saw some of the Rock's famous apes!
