The Church Of Ireland
Press Release

The Bishops' Appeal of the Church of Ireland has released £10,000 as an immediate response to the situation in the Balkans at the request of the two Archbishops.

We feel that as the gravity of the humanitarian situation increases our parishioners would welcome an opportunity to respond to a special appeal at this time thus enabling further amounts to be sent to the aid agencies on behalf of the Church of Ireland.

We therefore request that special collections should be organised in all our parishes on Sunday, 25 April and the proceeds sent without delay to the Secretary, Bishops'Appeal, c/o Representative Church Body, Church House, The Royal Hospital, Bloomfield Avenue, off Morehampton Road, Donnybrook, Dublin 4.

We would stress that this is a special appeal and it is hoped that parishes will continue to support the Bishops' Appeal in its world development work on a regular basis.
