This month Revd. Philip Macdonald reports on the passing of Tony Service, a much-loved member of the local Methodist family and long-time contributor to the parish magazine. Our thoughts and prayers are with Jill and the family at this sad time.

Guest contributor Revd. John Tyler donates the Dear Friends article and calls upon us to pray and work for justice in the world.
There are also pieces about Afghan refugees in Selby, the Diocese of York Safeguarding Week, El Greco, and Faith
in Science.

I witter on about an award granted to Connected recently, and finally I report on my further exploration of the culinary arts, viz. the production of parkin.
