Note from Crosstalk Editor

Dear Clergy members,

As I mentioned in a letter in the December issue of Crosstalk, response to General Synod's request that every subscriber confirm their subscriptions has been worryingly low (in late Oct. only about 2,000 of our 7,000 previous subscribers had confirmed.) Although, I'm sure some people may have moved or decided they don't want the newspapers, I suspect a substantial number may have missed the message or forgotten to confirm their subscriptions. Now that the deadline to confirm has past, would you please let your parishioners know that they can resubscribe on the Journal's website or they can call the circulation department at 1-866-924-9192 (ext. 259 or 245)? Or (if it wouldn't be too much work) perhaps your parish administrator could contact the department with a list of parishioners who wish to resubscribe.

Thanks very much for your help with this!

Leigh Anne
