Bishop Sandy Millar comes to Petworth!

You will be pleased to hear that Sandy Millar ( now a Bishop) has accepted PACT's (Petworth Area Churches Together) invitation to speak at our Spring Lecture on Friday 20th April ( 2nd Friday after Easter). The Lecture will be held at St. Mary's , Petworth at 7.30pm.

Sandy Millar can be considered to be one of the most influential men in the Anglican Church in the last 30 years. He qualified as a   barrister before being ordained and going on to be Vicar of Holy Trinity Brompton (HTB) in Knightsbridge, London.

During his time there, with the Holy Spirit and Nicky Gumbel's help, the Alpha Course  went international  and is now in over 160 countries.  The Marriage Course was also started then. Because of the pressure of space on HTB, eighteen congregations were "planted " in churches  all around the capital, as well as  St. Peter's in Brighton which now has a flourishing congregation .

SANDY IS A REMARKABLE MAN, HIGHLY INFLUENTIAL IN CHRISTIAN CIRCLES, VERY PERSONABLE ,  HUMOROUS AND A TRULY GODLY MAN.

After the Vicar of Baghdad , Canon Andrew White in October,  PACT now has yet another outstanding speaker in Bishop Sandy.
