Gambia receives British pilgrims

The Anglican Diocese of Gambia last week received 30 British pilgrims from the Diocese of Chichester in the Church of England. The Bishop of Gambia, the Rt Revd Dr Solomon Tilewa Johnson (of the Church of the Province of West Africa), thanked the visitors for coming, saying, "I pray that your mission in The Gambia will be fruitful and will open up a new visit that will link the people of Chichester Diocese and the Diocese of the Gambia to bring about true and meaningful Christian fellowship in our drive to proclaim the good news."

The visitors were led by the Rt Revd Lindsay Urwin, the Bishop of Horsham. The delegation was shown the work of missionary schools in the Greater Banjul Area, said the Gambia's Observer newspaper, and are due to preach in various Anglican parishes nationwide until 30 November.
