The Anglican Diocese of Perth App is part of my work as Digital Mission Project Officer in the Episcopal Office. It’s been a success: if you don’t have it, give it a go – and if you’re doing the Hope25 study, you’ll find additional materials written by myself and The Reverend Dr Christy Capper in the app. – Fr Grahame
