her home in Guadalajara, southern Mexico, to stay with Waddington Parish Council chairman Coun.- John Renton and his wife, Mary Ann. They first met Georgette and


"monks" accompanied guests on tours of the Abbey grounds and

returned to Mexico since and, this year, invited Georgette to improve her English by staying with them at their Waddington home. It has already been quite an

THE Ribble Valley has played its part in giving the Church of England some encouraging figures. A survey has shown that the Dio­


cese of Blackburn was fourth out of 43 dioceses for the number of children attending church. At Easter, the 34,000 communicants


was the 13th highest figure. Almost a quarter of children bom in the diocese receive an Anglican baptism. The Bishop of Blackburn, the Rt

Rev. Alan Chesters, says: "There is much to encourage us in these figures, especially in the number of young chil­ dren who share our worship, l "Of course the world around us is


changing and new patterns bf -being church1 are emerging as a result. The good news is that thousands of-people in the diocese are dedicated members of this church and its work'and min­ istry are seen as vital to the well-being of our communities."
