the Rt Rev. John Goddard, conducted Saturday, after-, noon's service of dedication, during which he announced his determination to com­ bat the racist element in Burnley, This followed the 4,000 votes cast for the

British National Party in' Burnley during last week's elections. The Bishop said that racism was contrary to Christian teachings and called on church leaders to support his campaign: Sat­ urday's service was attend­


ed by representatives from other churches, schools and


civic leaders.. On Sunday, almost every


seat was taken for a celebra­ tion guest service - a 21st Century experience of church for all ages. The use


of a huge video screen at the front of the church was


a boon for those with failing eyesight. There then fol­ lowed a memorable service which included puppets, live music, "the big chair," during which a Clitheroe


teenager told of her conver­ sion to Christianity, arid the surprise appearance of a former Clitheroe resident, Mrs Valeris Carter, who is now working towards the Sparrow Ministries pro­ ject for children suffering


from Aids in South Africa. Mrs Carter and her fami­

update the church was car­ ried out due to increasing use of the facility by an ever-increasing number of parishioners. With flexible, comfortable, seating, it is anticipated that the wor­ ship area can be utilised as a conference venue during the week, but will also offer scope for concerts and much

A CHURCH council has 1 acted to prevent tragedy among feathered friends. For years many birds .


have flown into All Hallows Church, Mitton, and died a I slow, lingering death, trapped inside the big building without food. Now the church has


devised a portable barrier to stop the birds getting inside when the building is open. In the latest issue of the


church magazine, church­ wardens Mr Peter and Mr David Lancaster appealed for churchpeople to make sure the bird guard is put in position as soon as the church is open - and returned underneath the rear most pew as the church was being closed.
